AirCard 781S Netgear 4g Modem - No usable interface shown
-
Hello all, Im trying to set up a AirCard 781S Netgear 4g Modem as a failover WAN interface. It has USB capability and works fine on windows and Linux https://www.netgear.com/images/pdf/AC781S_Datasheet_v3.pdf
The issue when plugged in, pfSense does not show up as a interface nor can I add it as a PPP.
It does show up as a usb device
/root: usbconfig dump_device_desc ugen1.2: <aircard 781s="" netgear,="" incorporated="">at usbus1, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=ON (500mA) bLength = 0x0012 bDescriptorType = 0x0001 bcdUSB = 0x0210 bDeviceClass = 0x0002 bDeviceSubClass = 0x0000 bDeviceProtocol = 0x0000 bMaxPacketSize0 = 0x0040 idVendor = 0x0846 idProduct = 0x68e1 bcdDevice = 0x0228 iManufacturer = 0x0001 <netgear, incorporated="">iProduct = 0x0002 <aircard 781s="">iSerialNumber = 0x0003 <013804000227124> bNumConfigurations = 0x0002</aircard></netgear,></aircard>
I know this is device is not on the list of working 3g/4g modemd but is there anything I can do to try to get this assigned as a interface?
