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,
Andreas

Hi Andreas,
I found a solution after trying multiple things. And after seeing your
email. I have concluded it. Now if we are using Pfsense on VMware. we
have to just add another interface by using vmware's virtual network
editor and selecting "host only connection" but we have to deselect dhcp
check in bottom of the window. After it I just use ICS on USB Modem
connection and select interface of newly created interface from VMware
network editor. In Pfsense I just used that interface as wan2 and select
DHCP option which got its IP from ICS. Now it is working fine for me.
We does not need another OS on VM after using above technique.
Thanks for your reply.
Regards,
Nabeel Hasan
