information: https://www.netgate.com/docs/pfsense/cellular/known-working-3g-4g-modems.html#modem-variations-reported-to-not-work

"Huawei E3372s LTE USB-stick
Link interface: /dev/cuaU0.1
Init string: &F&C1&D2E0S0=0"

procedure:

I installed a modem in usb
I made the command in ssh: usbconfig dump_device_desc
I saw:
ugen4.2: <HUAWEIMOBILE HUAWEIMOBILE> at usbus4, 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 = 0x1f01
bcdDevice = 0x0102
iManufacturer = 0x0001 <HUAWEI_MOBILE>
iProduct = 0x0002 <HUAWEI_MOBILE>
iSerialNumber = 0x0003 <0123456789ABCDEF>
bNumConfigurations = 0x0001
4. so everything is fine.
5. in "Interfaces/PPPs/Edit" I do not have: /dev/cuaU0.1
I have only:
/ Dev / cuau0
/ Dev / cuau1
why?

Remove the modem and reboot pfSense. Check the system log. Plug the modem in. What new log lines are i the system log?

Check Interfaces > Assign, do you have a USB device, ue0, available to assign?

If you don't have ue0 then try using camcontrol to eject cd0 and da0, this might allow the stick to change mode. Alternatively you can flash a different firmware on to the stick.

check this thread here, I've written a small how-to guide for NDIS mode
