      Hey guys, I recently got this prepaid 3G USB modem (and i get 2.5Mbps down from it). It's a ZTE MF 180. I wonder if it would work with pfSense? pfdocs only mentions Huwawei modems.

        What appears on the console (or the system log) when you plug the modem into the box?

          Sorry for the late reply, I just tested it a while ago. It says something like this:

          usbgen 1.3 (ZTE Corporation) connected on usbport 1

          Also tried a ZTE MF627, same message. Apparently they're not supported :(
