      Running pfsense 2.2.2.
      I have a Sierra Wireless u330 USB modem connected via /dev/cuaU0.3.
      I can manually save the configuration and pfsense dials the connection, gets an IP address, and everything works great.
      However, if I reboot pfsense, it does not initiate the PPP connection unless I log back in and perform that step manually.
      Is there an easy way to get pfsense to automatically dial a PPP connection on boot?
      I've googled this question a bit and have not found a recent (read:working) answer.
      Thanks in advance!

          Sounds like you enabled dial-on-demand or similar nonsense. No information here.

            Ah, attached my PPP configuration. Besides enabling the interface, I didn't do anything special.
