4g modem DLINK DWR910

[Guest]

You need to switch the USB mode, this is different and badly documented for every device/vendor. Check pages like http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/bb/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2173&start=30

[stephenw10]

Appear to be just the eject procedure though:

{0x2001, 0xa40d, none, 0, 0, 2, &modeswitch_std_eject, "D-Link DWR-910"},       //

Does it appear as a virtual cd-rom drive too?

Hey guys
Thanks for listening!
So I even checked topics about usb_modeswitch but I noticed that in my Pfsense (2.3.4p1) this command does not exist, is there any way to install it?

Yes, it goes up as 'cd1'
another situation I tried using the command "camcontrol eject", without result.

Maybe you're doing something wrong?

Yes, I used the command "camcontrol eject cd1" appears like this

Check usbconfig after ejecting the virtual drive. Does the device change product ID?

DWR-910 has 2 configuration after mode switching, RNDIS as config #1 and CDC_ETHER as config #2.

After ejecting try running:

usbconfig -d ugen4.3 dump_all_config_desc

Try running:

usbconfig -d  ugen4.3 set_config 1

Does it appear as a USB Ethernet device? ue0?

If so you can add a usb quirk to make that always happen. Or add it as a shellcmd.

Steve

[lopemede]

Great! Thanks
We are on the way … :)

In interfaces now this is showing me "ue0", I tried to activate the interface but it still does not show me the port for the PPP settings for the modem model ...

[stephenw10]

Yes, it appears that modem cannot, easily, appear as a ppp device. It's running in 'router mode' (HiLink mode).

If you assign ue0 as you would any other interface and set it to dhcp it will probably get an IP and gateway. That gateway might be your provider directly or it might be the modem. You might be able to change that mode in the modem, try browsing to it.

Steve

[lopemede]

Solved here, Steve! :)
That's it! I know the interface as DHCP, everything ok the LINK …
I'll set up a quirk usb now to finalize the settings ...

Thanks a lot for the help!

[stephenw10]

No problem.  :)

There are some issues. pfSense will have a mini freak out if one of it's assigned interfaces goes missing. It will not boot up again for example because ue0 is not present and it will leave you at the interfaces assign screen.

So that means, don't unplug the modem and also don't allow it to go into some power saving mode which some modems do.

In this case the device does not appear at all until it's been 'ejected' so that makes it even harder to work with.  :-\

Using earlyshellcmd may not be early enough. You might have to do something with a devd script….

It may be possible to disable that virtual CD mode entirely from the modems gui, some do allow that.

Steve

[lopemede]

Okay, I'll check these cases and monitor …

Thanks again!
