#Freebsd lsusb driver
The real fix would be to add the appropriate driver support in FreeBSD/pfSense. However, I did stumble across the above post when trying to make these cards work. I specifically got the idea from Jim Thompson, one of the lead pfSense developers, who recommended the device (via a reddit thread). find out which ttyUSBx is speaking AT and do what you want there If your current composition includes an AT command functions, then you should be able to fix this by temporarily adding the VID:PID to the option driver and then use the recipe from the pfsense forum: modprobe optionĮcho 1199 901f >/sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/option1/new_id The BIOS whitelisting used to be VID:PID based, and if that has changed then it is good to know before someone bricks their laptop (not permanently of course, but for many users it willl be nearly impossible to remove an internal modem to make the laptop boot again). I am really curious about this case, which is highly relevant to other Lenovo users. Those can be used to recreate some parts of the layout. There are usually a few messages printed in the kernel log for example. This is very interesting! Did the modem change PID, or did it fail the BIOS test with the exact same VID/PID as before?Ī long shot probably, but you wouldn’t happen to have more details about the modem state before and after? “lsusb -vd VID:PID” would be great, but anything which would describe the USB descriptor layout would be nice. Do you have any further details, like the output of “lsusb -vd 1199:901e” (from any Linux version)? It could be that we have only seen it in MBIM mode, in which case we don’t care about the PID.

They do a great job on security support for that, but the drivers are mostly the same as the original what-is-it-now? 2.6.32?īut I note that 0x901e is still unknown in the latest kernels, which means that we haven’t seen that PID before. Their extreme stability requirements force them to use an outdated kernel version. Well, I don’t use FreeBSD so I don’t care muchĬentOS is not the best choice of Linux distro when you need the latest and greatest hardware support. If some of the earlier “fixers” had taken the time to fix the drivers instead, then the rest of you wouldn’t have to continue to do such odd hacks. But that method should also work if you rather want to modify the modem… But is is not very community friendly IMHO. Tl dr: EM7355 (0x1199/0x901f) needs a different VID/PID can’t load up card to make the change.į/index.php?topic=96468.0 I’m pulling my hair out here! I’d be hugely grateful if someone had some experience with these cards and could give me some pointers on where to turn next (that keeps my existing pfSense router and doesn’t involve spending $$$ on a Cradlepoint or similar!). No idea why it was okay with it at first, but now it was complaining. However, upon a required “new software” restart, the laptop refused to boot (BIOS restriction) due to what it now claimed was an incompatible card. The first time around, the laptop booted up, I installed Lenovo’s drivers, and things seemed like they were going in the right direction. I next tried it in a Lenovo laptop (Win 7) in which the card was supposedly compatible (e.g.

Still, the COM ports didn’t respond to any commands (trying multiple speeds, etc.), nor did the Sierra Wireless Watcher software (likely an older version) acknowledge the card.

This fared no better under pfSense (latest release, 2.3.1_1) or Centos 7 (neither picked it up in a way which I could talk to it, serial or otherwise), though under Windows (now at Win 10) the drivers obtained from Sierra Wireless did pick up the card. Because this device was an import of questionable origin, I figured I should cut my losses and find another EM7355. At no point was there a working serial port provided to any of the OSes, so even if I wanted to issue AT commands to change PIDs, I was SOL.
#Freebsd lsusb windows 7
The EM7355 I started out with (0x1199/0x901e) wasn’t recognized by pfSense or Centos 7, and even Windows 7 didn’t like any of the drivers I used (starting with Sierra Wireless official, progressing to shady 3rd party ‘driver manager’ sites, and even modifying inf files). At this point, I suspect I just need to change the PID of the card to get FreeBSD to recognize it and assign a serial port, but I’m having trouble getting there. I’m trying to get an EM7355 card to play nicely with pfSense (which is built upon FreeBSD 10.3), but I’m getting nowhere and would hugely appreciate any pointers.
