Hi,

my Name is Tom - hello to all. Iam new here and hope for some help.

I use pfsense and want to install usb_modeswitch on this. I have downloaded the usb_modeswitch and the data.

My pfsense Version is:
2.2.2-RELEASE (i386)
built on Mon Apr 13 20:10:33 CDT 2015

FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE-p9

Whats my Problem? I will use a "make install" but is dont running under pfsense (i have r/w rights). I think the Problem is, that i dont have the "tcl package".
How can i download and install this packeage under pfsense?

[2.2.2-RELEASE][root@pfsense.domaene.corp]/root: cd usbmodeswitch
[2.2.2-RELEASE][root@pfsense.domaene.corp]/root/usbmodeswitch: ls

The make cmd is part of the toolchain you need to have on your build computer in order to compile a source to an executable program.
You are probably better off by searching the net for a prebuild usb_modeswitch for FreeeBSD.

Hi,

thank you for answer. Thats is it - i search a package and found now this:

pkg install sysutils/usb_modeswitch

i run with this command and the result is this:

[2.2.2-RELEASE][root@pfsense.domaene.corp]/root: pkg install sysutils/usb_modeswitch

how can i check thats usb_modeswitch is running?

First, note that the 'framework' of usb_modeswitch and its helpers that you can download here is specifically made for Linux.

Then, questions about the package you installed may be answered much better by the people who prepared it for FreeBSD.

...it is horrible - there is no way to install. I have no ppp´s under pfsense für Huawei E392.

Have anyone run a pfsense in Version 2.2 with a 3G/4G Dongle and can help?

Greetings Tom

Why do you need to run usb_modeswitch?
FreeBSD has 3G dongle support and their own mode switching program.

[TomNavi]

i need it, because my Huawei E392 (same with Huawei E3131) is not running under pfSense. I see only the message, thats the huawei run as CD-ROM. iam hopefully, that is running with usb_modeswitch.

Or is there another possibility under PfSense????

[Josh]

I have not even heard about Pfsense until now ... Sorry!

Again, better information is certainly available from the creators of that system.

Hi,
pfsense is a firewall - based on FreeBSD.
