Sorry about the attachments-pasting just got me spam errors

Did you just upgrade to 2.5? If so check the system log again when you connect it.

You should see it shown as the correct device at least.

Steve

rmeskill

No, I’ve been on 2.5 since I opened this ticket. The logs above are from 2.5-the device isn’t being recognized

rmeskill

The system log (again on 2.5) only shows the connection at 3.2 and then the failures to respond to AT. Do you perhaps have any further suggestions?

stephenw10

Hmm, what I expect to see here is the device initially come up as an emulated CD drive and then be ejected by u3g:
https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-src/blob/RELENG_2_5/sys/dev/usb/serial/u3g.c#L241

If you reboot and check the boot log do you see that?

Do you see a cd drive listed in /dev that has no business being there? If so try ejecting it.

Rebooting seems to have frozen it-I'll need to get a monitor out tomorrow and take a look at what happened, but I did get an output of /dev at first-nothing obviously cdrom in there:

No idea what happened, but something got corrupted and had to fully reinstall. But now can confirm both no unexpected CDROMs in /dev (it looks the exact same as above), it continues to mount on 7.2 and it doesn't work.

Additionally (both before and after I create a PPP Interface) cu -l /dev/cuau* don't give me any interactive responses-I just get a dead cursor until I disconnect.

stephenw10

Hmm, I would try it in some other OS at this point and see what it does there. It may be stuck in some odd mode perhaps.
Do you know the history of that device?

Steve

rmeskill

It's brand new, not locked, and works fine on my Windows box with the provided software...

rmeskill

I think you might be right, though, as when it joins to Windows it joins as a CDROM/USB device. I imagine I need to switch it to the correct mode, then, per details on this thread:

https://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/bb/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2594

but can't find a series of commands that works. Here's what I get when I follow the same commands from that forum post:

That's the wrong product ID, it's not what you have. Try:
sudo usb_modeswitch -K -W -v 2001 -p 0xab00

Not sure why u3g isn't doing that though.

In Debian it has already been switched so usb_modeswitch has nothing to do. 0x7e35 is the modem mode ID:
https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-src/blob/RELENG_2_5/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs#L1722

It just needs to be ejected but if it never appears as a virtual CD drive that's.... challenging!

It looks to be failing reading the config index for some reason but your usbconfig output previously showed it using config index 0 as expected.

I also just upgraded the firmware to 2.1.2 rev A1, available here and confirmed a couple things on my Windows machine. It does initially connect as a USB/CD folder, and when you launch the connection program it disconnects that, presumably making the mode change which we need to produce here. I've also tried running it through an unpowered USB hub, just to see if that somehow affected things, but it just comes up as 7.3 (with 7.2 being the hub itself) with no additional CDROM in /dev:

This indicates there is some issue with the device config values. Does it still show bConfigurationValue = 0x0001?

Can you specify it directly, like: usb_modeswitch -v 2001 -p 0xab00 -u 1

Aha this looks like a clue: cfg=255 is clearly invalid! It should be 0 there is only one config index available.

Try this: usbconfig -d ugen7.3 set_config 0

If that works we can add it as a device hint.

Still no dice. I swapped things around a few times to see if bus 3 or 7 made a difference and tried everything with both a value of 1 and of 0x0001, but to no avail...

Hmm, for some reason it's not able to read the config index value. Seems to be defaulting to 255 whuch indicates the device has not been initialised correctly.

I'm not sure there is anything we can do about that.
