3G / 4G Modem Support

(1/1)

dlasher:
I dug through the docs, and I don't see this explicitly mentioned, so I figured I'd ask here.


Are 2G/3G/4G modems on the roadmap for OPNSense support? I see the couple that are presently supported, but I have several, from a variety of carriers, and none of them are supported.

T-Mobile: 4G Rocket
OPNsense root: Unknown USB device: vendor 0x19d2 product 0x0157 bus uhub1

AT&T Beam (Netgear 340U)
OPNsense root: Unknown USB device: vendor 0x1199 product 0x9051 bus uhub1

Verizon 4G/LTE 551L
OPNsense root: Unknown USB device: vendor 0x1410 product 0xb001 bus uhub1

They're all well supported under linux in recent kernels, using qmi, mbim, ncm, or rndis.

Hi,
if some device ist supported by OPNsense it depends on the driver support of FreeBSD.
Take a look into FreeBSD docs: https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=u3g&sektion=4&manpath=freebsd-release-ports
or the forum
https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/56780/

Generally the support of wireless devices into FreeBSD ist not as good as under Linux!

Hi,

I've setup a HG Sierra UMTS 3G HSPDA PCI-E MC8775 3G PCI-Express Mini. It's using /dev/cua0.0 which seems a bit odd, but it's working.

King regards,
Kay-Uwe Genz
