      Hello!

      I want to connect my 4G-router Huawei to pfSense via USB. pfSense works in VmWare ESXi 4.1. To use that router under VmWare I had to passthrough PCI device of USB-controller. pfSense have seen router. dmesg output shows it:

        It works! On the "Interfaces: Assign network ports" I made new interface binded to "ue0". Done.

          You will need to be careful with that. Notice in your logs:

          cdce0: <huawei 0="" 2="" technology="" huawei="" mobile,="" class="" 0,="" rev="" 2.00="" 1.02,="" addr="">on usbus0
cdce0: faking MAC addresscd0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 scbus1 target 0 lun 0</huawei>

          The cdce(4) driver cannot read the MAC address from the USB device correctly so it makes one up. That's fine but if you ever disconnect it or reboot pfSense it will make up a new MAC address causing trouble. At least that has been my experience with similar devices.
