Build pfSense for 3G-4G Sierra modem support
-
My huawei E382-u12 re-plug very good but with another modem port.
When pfsense start is cuaU0.x, when i re-plug change to cuaU1.x. Three things can happen, or i change modem port in the interface or i re-plug again and change back to cuaU0.x or i reboot pfsense. If i change modem port on interface, next restart i have to change back to cuaU0.x.

Steve,
In fact the previous 2.2 ALPHA was crashing when trying to add a ppp interface, the latest not.
I just re-install from scratch the pfSense 2.2 ALPHA (today latest release) and try to add a ppp interface and got the modem connected immediately.I am not using u3g and the usie ethernet interface but the ppp daemon.
The benefit is to have the card recognize as a 3G modem with the dial facility and not an ethernet interface.
I will do some test to see if there is a ppp bottleneck with 3G+ (up to 42Mbs) and 4G-LTE.
In // i also would like to have the Direct IP mode (usie.ko) working with pfSense.Thanks again for your help.
Regards
Nicolas

To configure my modem (ppp) i don't use the PPPs advanced settings. For any reason each time o go to interfaces_ppps_edit.php my pen is restarted, i see that in console, and was identified with another port, instead of cuaU0.x changed to cuaU1.x like you are re-plug the pen. I ended using the config in Interface name "interfaces.php?if=opt1" only. This is on the initial 2.2 snaps now i don't know i have to test it.
