      Hi folks,
      I have a brand new 4G USB Stick "Telekom Speedstick 2" which is a Alcatel / TCT L100v, using Qualcomm MDM9200

      The stick is switching by ejcting the virtual CD-Rom device.

      I have managed to switch from 0x1bbb:0xf017 (cdrom) to 01x1bbb:0x011e (usbmodem) using usb_modeswitch port for Freebsd.

      usb_modeswitch -v 0x1bbb -p 0xf017 -M 55534243123456788000000080000606f50402527000000000000000000000
      
      
      usbconfig -d ugen1.2 dump_device_desc
      ugen1.2: <mobile broad="" band="" usbmodem="">at usbus1, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=ON
      
        bLength = 0x0012 
        bDescriptorType = 0x0001 
        bcdUSB = 0x0200 
        bDeviceClass = 0x0000 
        bDeviceSubClass = 0x0000 
        bDeviceProtocol = 0x0000 
        bMaxPacketSize0 = 0x0040 
        idVendor = 0x1bbb 
        idProduct = 0x011e 
        bcdDevice = 0x0000 
        iManufacturer = 0x0003  <usbmodem>iProduct = 0x0002  <mobile broad="" band="">iSerialNumber = 0x0000  <no string="">bNumConfigurations = 0x0001</no></mobile></usbmodem></mobile> 
      

      But still there is no device in PPP interface settings available

      can anyone help?

      I am using pfsense 2.0.2

        Some 4G modems have an Ethernet like USB interface because that provides a lower overhead interface into the kernel than the "tty" interface previously used.

          Unfortunately, there is also no new ethernet interface available after connecting/switching the webstick.
          Any other ideas?
          May pfsense 2.1 bring me closer to a solution?

            Please post the output of pfSense shell commanda```
            usbconfig show_ifdrv
            usbconfig dump_device_desc

                Yes, helpful in terms of showing there is an opensource driver for Linux for that device.

                Edit: In a few minutes googling I failed to find any evidence of support for this device in FreeBSD or evidence of a port of the Linux qmi_wwan driver to FreeBSD.
