Anyone have any pointers on getting this working? I had it working on my old implementation, but recently upgraded to pfSense appliance and now cannot get is working. Have tried the following.

curl -O http://pkg.freebsd.org/freebsd:10:x86:64/quarterly/All/usb_modeswitch-2.2.5.txz

pkg install usb_modeswitch-2.2.5.txz

But getting this error message:

Updating pfSense-core repository catalogue…
pfSense-core repository is up to date.
Updating pfSense repository catalogue...
pfSense repository is up to date.
All repositories are up to date.
pkg: archive_read_open_filename(/root/usb_modeswitch-2.2.5.txz): Unrecognized archive format
pkg: No packages available to install matching 'usb_modeswitch-2.2.5' have been found in the repositories

Any tips/alternative help is greatly appreciated!

Install it from the pkg repo, not from a file.
