I have a Topton with ChangWang CW-N11 motherboard with 6 i225-V3 NICs. Did not try 2.5 GbE connection. All GbE devices connect and working fine with no issues. One 100 MbE connection is working at full speed, but another one (from old LTE router) goes up only as 10BASE-T. So only 10 Mbit.

So, I got Fibocom L860-GL, which is Intel XMM 7560.

TLDR: It's working.


Detailed:

It doesn't work out of box in Windows. Needs drivers, didn't install it. It doesn't work in Ubuntu. Seem to receiving IP, but failing out shortly with no internet. But that a side story.

As of OPNSense so far I tried it on a testing OPNSense in a VirtualBox with Windows host with no plan on a SIM card. I got it with USB 3.0 adapter. Did not update firmware or did anything else. Just inserted SIM, connected antennas and passed through into virtual machine with USB 3.0 enabled. Three devices appeared - /dev/cuaU0, /dev/cuaU1 and /dev/cuaU2. /dev/cuaU0 and /dev/cuaU2 do accept AT commands. /dev/cuaU1 does not. I can only type in ~.

So I tried to make a Point-to-Point connection. Selected /dev/cuaU0 only, entered *99# phone and my APN. Then assigned connection and enabled it. So, it's working. I'm getting IP and i can open ISP homepage and account.

Didn't try anything else, like aggregation etc.

The question is why those 3 devices, which one is for which and how it should work ideally?

Was not able to take screenshot, it slept away. Only photo. And it didn't went entirely into logs.

1. It surely work. I have a testbed on VirtualBox with couple of more virtual machines using it as a router via Internal Network.

2. Matter is not how much you have and what on host, but how much you allocate to virtual machine. FreeBSD minimal requirement is 1,5 GB. OPNsense minimal requirement is 2 GB.

May I ask how you got OPNsense working?
I have a similar N5105 based PC with 6 ports in my case. Unfortunatelly on OPNsense/pfSense, the cables are not detected, no link up.

For instance on Proxmox it works though.

I've tried the latest 22.7 version from end of July.

that's my hardware

I have a problem with one of my two 100 Mbit connections, with no link and no lights at all, unless I explicitly set the port to 10BASE-T in OPNsense interface settings, so it's only 10 Mbit. Tried every port on both ends and every cable i have, except cross.

All gigabite connections are working fine. Didn't try 2.5 GbE.

On another 100 Mbit connection 100BASE-TX working fine.

I have 6-port Topton CW-N11.

And I wonder if anyone tried at least any cat 6+ LTE modem, mPCIe or m.2?

Hi. Is Intel XMM 7360 LTE mPCIe modem supported by OPNsense?

What's the outcome did you try XMM 7360? I wonder about it and about XMM 7560.
