SG-1000 & USB NIC

u20170606

I'm trying to get the SG-1000 to come up with an LTE USB network interface for the WAN (ue0 - if_urndis.ko). It initially comes up then I see a message where it just disconnects. Any ideas on why this happens?

urndis0: at uhub0, port 1, addr 2 (disconnected)
umodem0: at uhub0, port 1, addr 2 (disconnected)
umodem1: at uhub0, port 1, addr 2 (disconnected)

Here's a pic of the setup.

Odds are, it's the USB device going to sleep or into some kind of power saving mode. There may not be anything that pfSense can do for that. But you might be able to access a configuration page on the modem to see if it has a way to configure that.

How long between when it's up and running and when you see the disconnect messages?

u20170606

@jimp:

How long between when it's up and running and when you see the disconnect messages?

Probably about 10 seconds. I can plug the same board in to a Raspberry or Desktop and it stays up and can do I/O.

u20170606

Turns out it's something to do with the on-board Ethernet interfaces. Once you connect cpsw0 or cpsw1 to the computer the SG-1000 USB hub disconnects.

Any thoughts on why this might be happening?

u20170606

I finally figured out the sequence that gets it to work properly but not across boots if the cellular interface is not fully up.

Connect the USB Remote NDIS Ethernet device (USB cellular modem that shows up as an Ethernet interface) once pfSense has booted.
Run through the set interfaces section and use ue0 for the wan and cpsw1 as the lan.

Both will come up just fine. If you reboot and the cellular modem looses power then the interface won't come back up. It turn out that the interface won't be fully only until ~20 after power is applied and pfSense/FreeBSD will never retry the interface.

For those of you interested here is the kit I now have working on the SG-1000:

https://starterkit.att.com/kits

https://www.adafruit.com/product/1099

https://www.amazon.com/C2G-Cables-27367-Micro-USB-Adapter/dp/B004FNS7DA

https://www.adafruit.com/product/1197

I'm also using a micro USB splitter out of the SG-1000 to the data and power ports on the cellular board.

It seems like promising IoT gateway that I'm going to deploy on my getvera.com home automation bridge.

You may be better off configuring it as a PPP device if it has that option. pfSense will try to connect that after boot.
