using pfsense on virtual machine.
I had the same problem a few weeks ago. It might have been a different device,
but I think there's almost no (if any) USB 3G device out there with drivers for
any OS but Windows, OS X. Even for Linux there are only a handful.
I kind of solved the problem by setting up another VM with Win XP as guest OS and using
it's crappy "Internet Connection Sharing". I set it up like this:
physical network (LAN)<-> pfSense VM<-> virtual network (WAN)<-> Win XP<->
USB 3G device
Not a nice and everlasting solution in any way, but the only one I got working.
And it's still better than no internet connectivity at all.
HTH,

There are actually quite a few modems that work with pfSense 2.0. It's
not plug and play but if you follow the documentation it's not too hard
to set up. I don't know if your specific modem is supported but I
suggest looking at the documentation:
