Huawei K5410 3G modem - how to make it work in pfSense?
-
Hi, I want to use this 3Gmodem as a backup in case the primary link fails. However, I cannot get pfSense to detect it properly.
It gets detected as two mass storage devices. No additional serial port appears in /dev.
I installed and ran usb_modeswitch:/usr/local/sbin/usb_modeswitch -c /usr/local/etc/usb_modeswitch.conf -s 20 Looking for target devices ... No devices in target mode or class found Looking for default devices ... found matching product ID adding device Found device in default mode, class or configuration (1) Accessing device 006 on bus 000 ...

Bye.usbconfig dump_device_descc shows the new ID. However, there is still no serial port available. If I run usb_modeswitch a second time, it says that the device iss already in target mode.
It is possible to make this 3G modem work with pfSense?
