Hello list,


I wanted to send this information to help others in their quest of 4G conne=
ctivity with FreeBSD here at Europes continent and in Finland. Huawei does =
not include a lot of information about their products. These 4G-network mod=
ems are usually provided by the subscriberline companies and with their own=
 products. This one was from Sonera (Teliasonera, .se and .fi) here in Finl=
and.
Huawei E3372 seems to be a CDCE device. /boot/loader.conf has to have a lin=
e if_cdce_load=3D"YES". Only usb_modeswitch works with this one. Command:
/usr/local/sbin/usb_modeswitch --default-vendor 0x12d1 --default-product 0x=
1f01 -J
swithes to the CDCE mode. Device ue0 appears to be configured (with ifconfi=
g -command). Using 'dhclient ue0' a network address is found and using the =
address and adding a default router the network interface is usable. An adm=
in HTTP-page can be found from http://192.168.1.1. CDCE has two network int=
erfaces at both ends of USB. Both ends can be configured with their own IP-=
address.
ID:s=C2=A0=C2=A0 idVendor =3D 0x12d1 idProduct =3D 0x1f01 are switched to I=
D:s=C2=A0idVendor =3D 0x12d1 =C2=A0idProduct =3D 0x14dc . This seems to be =
correct since the connection to the Internet succeeded with cdce.
Using u3g.c:U3G_DEV(HUAWEI, K3372_INIT, U3GINIT_HUAWEISCSI)
Causes the modem to appear as a device id 0x1442 . Using this, only NTP por=
t was listening. Maby this is a ntp mode. Using:U3G_DEV(HUAWEI, E3372_INIT,=
 U3GINIT_HUAWEISCSI2)
does not give any results. These are the current possibilities if compiling=
 a new kernel every time is possible.
It would be easier if a device had only one identification code. Reading ab=
out the different codes from usb_modeswitch list, it is maby clear that the=
 service provider can change the device ID:s. This is not very easy to the =
users. If the device was only a modem, it=C2=A0 would be usable without the=
 flip-flop states of the modem-devices. ISO image is given with Windows and=
 Linux drivers or software and after installing the software, the state bec=
omes a modem state. Possibly with a HTTP-interface to connecto to the Inter=
net.
Quick test with Linux shows that the latency time is less with Linux. Previ=
ously using PPP with these kind of wireless devices, FreeBSD has shown best=
 latency times. This is an estimate. Using an external modem (propably Linu=
x inside) caused more latency with PPP over the previous 3G link.

With best regards,

Jouni L.=C2=A0

I misread the date on my original post. This bug is now almost 4 years old.
