Vodafone K3565 Rev 2 discovered via multiple serial ports
-
Hmmm, curious.
Does the original port remain?Do the logs show the complete device being re-detected? Perhaps it's some power saving mode that can be disabled.
Steve
-
No, the original port is not available in the drop list. It's always switching between /dev/cuaU0.x and /dev/cuaU1.x.
The idea of power-saving mode is interesting, I'll investigate this way but the 3G is always active with traffic (gateway monitoring)./x
-
IT looks to be appearing as a completely new device rather than a new port on the same device. That implies it's being redetected.
Do the system logs show that happening?
Steve

The problem occurs at random times… Now the 3G connection is up for 17h! I'm keeping an eye on logs...

Ok, the problem occurred again!
It seems that the 3G stick is rebooting (crashed?)

I changed the USB stick (just to test another one, who know?).
It's a Huawei E3531. I installed usb_modeswitch and have the classic 3 ports… (good). But it rejects the default init string...
Anybody knows if this stick is compatible with pfSense? Is there a specific init string to use? -
Finally, I managed to get it working via HiLink… The USB stick is detected as an Ethernet device.
I updated my /etc/devd.conf to execute usb_modeswitch when the USB stick is inserted but it's not working. Any tip?/x
-
Does your code run and fail or appear not to run at all?
Perhaps appears as a different device ID initially and isn't triggering the setting.
Steve
-
It does not execute my script at all (I've added some debug output to a temp log file).
But, the good news is that the new 3G stick is stable! Online for 4 days now! -
I found I have one of these devices. I'll plug it in for a few days and see what is logged. I don't have a SIM in it, not sure I have a valid one, which might make a difference. Though yours appeared to disconnect entirely.
