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

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.

Steve

chedxb

Thanks Steve, how can I ask FreeBSD community to add this device? For some reason, this is/used to be a popular device in the region I live (middle east) and it would be nice to add it for the future users. Meanwhile I will try with a Huawei E173.

stephenw10

There are examples of people having done it for other devices. I would start by looking on the FreeBSD forums for other threads. And then opening your own thread if it's not obvious.
Ultimately you would be looking to make a patch against udbdevs and u3g and then issue a pull request for it.

It would be much easier to test if u3g was a loadable kernel module but I don't think that s possible.

stephenw10

Ah, OK that's mostly all done then. Nice!

So yeah you can see that's a two line change to two files. Should be easy enough to replicate for the new ID.

Can you try this against your modem?
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=196362#c9

Does it then show up as ue0 as shown there?
