Re: [pfSense Support] Internet at the lake? Rogers MobileInternetStick (Rocket) with pfSense?

Actually the best 3G router option I've found is an Alix 6b2.  It has
a miniPCI Express slot you can use for the cellular connection (no
miniPCI solutions exist AFAIK) /

Would the Dell 3G Mini PCI Express modules used in their notebooks work?

Probably, but I have no idea what the actual chipset is.  The 6b2's
Express slot is USB-only (remember that Mini PCI Express is either
PCI-E or USB-2.0), so you'd have to make sure that you get a card that
supports the USB side.  That said, I seem to have seen a lot more
USB-based than PCI based mP-E cards, so your chances are good.
