Huawie MU709s Kernel mod
-
Does anyone know how to make a kenrel mod to get support for the Huawie MU709s modem?
-
No. QMI is not supported. Does the module show up as an USB ethernet device? I.E. an interface named "ue0"? If not does u3g0 show any ports?
-
i get
ugen1.2: <huawei technologies="" co.,="" ltd.="">at usbus1
in dmesg</huawei>

This site has some good info regarding 3G. Ignore the ppp.conf section as things have changed since this was written. Still good tidbits for debugging.

I have got a new kernel build and installed on a vbox, how do i then install it on the pfsense box? i have asked my friend (Google) but hav not got a straight anwser
-
Now I get a bit further, I have copied the /boot/kernel/kernel + u3g.ko + ucom.ko + pf.ko to the pfsense box, added
u3g_load="YES"
ucom_load="YES"
pf_load="YES"to /boot/loader.conf
now I get 4 cuaU0.X interfaces, added them all to a ppp interface each but non of them registre :-( so close but still so far

A little tip for the correct port. On sierra they use the next to last interface for the modem data port.
For yours that would be cuaU0.2Have you tried manually communicating with the modem? From pfsense console go to #8 shell,then type ppp. This should show you if the device is working and if tun0 is created. You may need to feed it some commands, like Set Device=cuaU0.2 and port speed too.
if proficient in AT commands you can drop to TERM under PPP and it will allow direct interface with the device. "Echo On" command is required to see output on screen. -
Here is a link to extended AT commands for Sierra wireless but some AT commands are universal.
