Re: [pfSense Support] WRAP/PfSense & PCMCIA :)

I would like to see support for some form of the Verizon cards.  I have
thought of making a wireless internet router using pfsense and the
Verizon cellular broadband service.

This is why I am asking, I think it would be slick to have a self contained 
wireless router that works almost anywhere you can get a Verizon signal.


VERY slick!

Been drooling over this idea for a while, I emailed PC Engines, maybe they 
will consider a board with a PCMCIA slot.

I have been thinking about this for a while and thought it would be worth 
a

post to see what sort of trouble I could stir up :)

I have already been successful getting the cards to work in Linux, just
really need the PCMCIA interface with CardBus support.

Maybe a MiniPCI to PCMCIA converter? Beats me..

Thoughts?

For this task you could use a Soekris 4511 which has a PCMCIA slot.  I
however have no clue if FreeBSD has support for the verizon.

COOL!

There are Linux drivers, not sure if someone can port them.

Thanks..

Any chance PfSense will work with this?

Can it maybe see it as a NIC or a Modem?

There are NO linux drivers ;-)... Errr... Well, I am actually working with
Aircard 580 and Kyocera 650.

The AC580 and KPC650 are - surprise - a USB hub, carrying two USB serial
ports. I am not acquainted with Verizon units, tho.

Just to clarify myself - there are no Linux drivers as none are needed for
the AC580 and KPC650. They are just USB serial.
