D-Link DWM-157 USB Stock not recognized

chedxb

hello,

I am trying to make a D-Link DWM-157 D1 unit work on pfSense 2.4.4 and I have the same problem, pfSense sees it as CD-ROM despite it is shown as a "Known Working 3G-4G Modem" (https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/cellular/known-working-3g-4g-modems.html)

I followed the steps https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/6226 and http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/bb/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2687 however it is insisting to be a CD-ROM instead of a modem.

Question: is it possible to use configuration=2 option instead of MessageContent in pfSense?

Best,

Savas

If it has 2 (or more) usb config indexes you can force it to use a different one using a usb quirk option.

Try running usbconfig dump_all_desc against it.

Thanks Steve,

In the attached file, you can find the usbconfig dump_all_desc output.

How can I use the quirk option?

Best,

Ok, so that device has 3 config indexes:

All show as mass storage devices though...

Try setting it manually first:
usbconfig ugen4.2 set_config 2
Or 1.

Though it looks like you might have the C1 variant from the usbmodeswitch forum discussion.

Thanks Steve,

when I tried usbconfig ugen4.2 set_config 2, I got the following message;

usbconfig - configure the USB subsystem
usage: usbconfig -u <busnum> -a <devaddr> -i <ifaceindex> [cmds...]
usage: usbconfig -d [ugen]<busnum>.<devaddr> -i <ifaceindex> [cmds...]
commands:
set_config <cfg_index>
.
.

then I tried the following;

usbconfig -d ugen4.2 set_config 0
usbconfig -d ugen4.2 set_config 1
usbconfig -d ugen4.2 set_config 2

however they didn't work, still shows as cd0

Best,

Savas

chedxb

btw, when I was searching something useful in the USB stick, this is what I found,

intallation config file

DefaultVendor= 0x2001
DefaultProduct= 0xa407

TargetVendor= 0x2001
TargetProduct= 0x7d0e

MagicId=2ds2dse5w885d5d5we5d2d2d5sd4dgg4fdfd5

AutoRun=1

I tried to use the MagicId as MessageContent with USB_switch, however it didn't work.

Is there a way to convert the MagicId to MessageContent?

Best,

Savas

stephenw10

Ah sorry missed the -d switch. Ok well if you have the C1version you will need to use usb_modeswitch.

Is the message content not in it already?

It may not help you though because neither of those IDs is known to pfSense/FreeBSD:
https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-src/blob/ff7d4801f1b88de656e028209818ff005e8a1353/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs#L1663

Steve

chedxb

Unfortunately there is no message content. I found this cryptic MagicId, however it didn't work.

btw, TargetVendor and TargetProduct are there,

731 vendor DLINK 0x2001 D-Link
813 product ABIT AK_020 0x7d0e 3G modem

Best,

Savas

stephenw10

Mmm, but that product is from a different vendor so it will not match.

If you manage to make this work it will be via bunch of workarounds that may fail. I recommend using a different modem if you can.

Steve

chedxb

Thanks Steve, I will try with a different modem.

Best,

Savas

stephenw10

If it is the C1 version it just needs to be ejected anyway:
https://github.com/NetworkManager/usb_modeswitch-data/blob/master/usb_modeswitch.d/2001:a407

And then it may appear as a usb Ethernet device which you can use directly. There are issues with that though.

Steve

chedxb

I am afraid it is D1

I also tried usb_modeswitch -v 2001 -p a407 -K -W, however it didn't generate any verbose output.

and this is what I see on the system log,

basically when I run usb_modeswitch -v 2001 -p a407 -K -W, it ejects cd0 and turns into da0, not modem.

Best,

Savas

stephenw10

Mmm, it sure looks like a C1 version in many ways. You see anything else in the system log after you do that?

Try running usbconfig dump_all_desc against it after you have ejected it to change it's mode like LOM suggested.

Steve

chedxb

I cannot post the logs, I am getting SPAM message

"Post content was flagged as spam by Akismet.com"

chedxb

so these are the interfaces after the camcontrol eject cd0 command.

MI_00 D-Link Mobile Broadband Device (Network Adapter) (cdc_mbim)
MI_02 D-Link HSPA+DataCard Diagnostics Interface (also ppp dialup modem)
MI_03 D-Link HSPA+DataCard NMEA Device
MI_04 D-Link HSPA+DataCard Speech Port
MI_05 D-Link HSPA+DataCard Debug Port
MI_06 USB Mass Storage Device

So I understand as follows,

Since the drivers are not available in pfSense/BSD for the interfaces from 0 to 5, when I do camcontrol eject cd0, it uses the 6th interface (USB Mass Storage Device)

Thoughts?

Best,

Savas

stephenw10

Yes, only interfaces 2 and 3 would otherwise be available if u3g attached to them.

The usbconfig output should show those interfaces though even if no driver does attach.

I have upvoted some of your posts which should stop akismet triggering but it does seem have a mind of it's own. We have almost no control over it.

it worked now, I just posted the log

stephenw10

Yep, it really looks like that is a C1 device mislabelled. But that is still not recognised by u3g even is the most recent FreeBSD. https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/blob/master/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs

It's probably relatively easy to add it. The serial interfaces are there they just need to be attached but that's not something I can do. To add new devices requires rebuilding the kernel and hence it's only really practical to do in FreeBSD rather then in pfSense. Those changes usually happen there first and are brought into pfSense though it does happen the other way on occasion.

It's still easier to use a different modem.
