Cellular package

trumee

Hello,

I have a Huawei LTE USB modem connected to the router and it creates the serial interface /dev/cuaU0.0 and /dev/cuaU0.1. The cellular package has this statement

Check this to also reset the modem. Please make sure to use the cuaZ99.0 port in PPP or the modem will change its port after the restart.

How is the /dev/cuaZ99.0 interface created?

I have E3372h modem which shows up like this,

$usbconfig -d ugen1.2 dump_device_desc
ugen1.2: <HUAWEIMOBILE HUAWEIMOBILE> at usbus1, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=ON (2mA)

  bLength = 0x0012 
  bDescriptorType = 0x0001 
  bcdUSB = 0x0210 
  bDeviceClass = 0x0000  <Probed by interface class>
  bDeviceSubClass = 0x0000 
  bDeviceProtocol = 0x0000 
  bMaxPacketSize0 = 0x0040 
  idVendor = 0x12d1 
  idProduct = 0x1506 
  bcdDevice = 0x0102 
  iManufacturer = 0x0001  <HUAWEI_MOBILE>
  iProduct = 0x0002  <HUAWEI_MOBILE>
  iSerialNumber = 0x0000  <no string>
  bNumConfigurations = 0x0001

I copied the cellular package install devd script and changed the idProduct,

$cp /etc/devd/cellular.conf /usr/local/etc/devd/cellular1.conf

$cat /usr/local/etc/devd/cellular1.conf
###
# /etc/devd/cellular.conf
###

# radios
attach 1000 {
        match "vendor"          "0x12d1";
        match "product"         "0x1506";
        action "/usr/local/bin/python2.7 /usr/local/bin/cellular_dev.py -a -d $device-name";
};

notify 1000 {
        match "vendor"          "0x12d1";
        match "product"         "0x1506";
        match "type"            "DETACH";
        match "port"            "[0-9]";
        action "/usr/local/bin/python2.7 /usr/local/bin/cellular_dev.py -r";
};

Even after a reboot i dont see the cuaZ99.0 device being created,

$ls -la /dev/cua*
crw-rw----  1 uucp  dialer  0x47 Jul 25 12:47 /dev/cuaU0.0
crw-rw----  1 uucp  dialer  0x48 Jul 25 12:47 /dev/cuaU0.0.init
crw-rw----  1 uucp  dialer  0x49 Jul 25 12:47 /dev/cuaU0.0.lock
crw-rw----  1 uucp  dialer  0x4d Jul 25 12:47 /dev/cuaU0.1
crw-rw----  1 uucp  dialer  0x4e Jul 25 12:47 /dev/cuaU0.1.init
crw-rw----  1 uucp  dialer  0x4f Jul 25 12:47 /dev/cuaU0.1.lock

This is on pfSense 2.4.4 snapshot. Is the package broken?
