I tried usb_modeswitch -v 2001 -p a407 -K -W, however it didn't generate any verbose output.

and this is what I see on the system log,

basically when I run usb_modeswitch -v 2001 -p a407 -K -W, it ejects cd0 and turns into da0, not modem.

Best,

Try it under linux.. I have no idea of what has been done by FreeBSD developers to usb_modeswitch in order for it to run under FreeBSD.

If it changes ProductId to 7d0e then there must be more interface available than the mass storage interface.
lsusb -v is the linux cmd to display the interface layout and there must be a similar one in FreeBSD.
Find it and run it..

Since you don't get any verbose output from usb_modeswitch and also no switching then I can only guess that usb_modeswitch doesn't work under FreeBSD.
DWM 157C1 has no problems switching under linux so you'll probably have to use the eject cmd which previously gave you a successful switch.

I never had a successful switch even with eject cmd.

There is no way the dongle can morph into 2001:7d0e without giving you the full interface layout.

What does usbconfig dump_all_desc show at this point?
How many interfaces does the bNumInterfaces under Configuration 0 show?

What does usbconfig dump_all_desc show at this point?
How many interfaces does the bNumInterfaces under Configuration 0 show?
I see total 7 interfaces, 0 to 6

Good, can we then finally agree that camcontrol eject cd0 switches the device into modem mode
with the interface layout I previously posted?

MI_00 D-Link Mobile Broadband Device (Network Adapter) (cdc_mbim)
MI_02 D-Link HSPA+DataCard Diagnostics Interface (also ppp dialup modem)
MI_03 D-Link HSPA+DataCard NMEA Device
MI_04 D-Link HSPA+DataCard Speech Port
MI_05 D-Link HSPA+DataCard Debug Port
MI_06 USB Mass Storage Device

Agree. So I understand as follows,

Since the drivers are not available in pfSense/BSD for the interfaces from 0 to 5, when I do camcontrol eject cd0, it uses the 6th interface (USB Mass Storage Device)

Let me check if I can find the drivers needed the modem interface.

Nice result and from the photo I see that the device is really marked D1 even though it behaves like a C1.
It could be a D1 with C1 firmware flashed onto it or a mix up in manufacturing.

It is Mediatek who has provided the hardware for most D-Link dongles and the switch message you found is new to me but we have a similar one for 3 other Mediatek devices.

This type of msg has 1 length byte followed by 3 data bytes, the msg you found was 03 f0 01 03 while the one we already knew of is 03 f0 01 01. The last byte is probably a selector for the firmware to switch to one of a couple of pre-defined interface layouts.
You could try to put 1 or 2 as last byte to see if you get something interesting :wink:

As someone else over in the Netgate forum said, ethernet is not a good choice. That is because there is no standard command language for an ethernet connection so mfgrs all use different ways of telling an ethernet modem to bring up or bring down the connection. In your case it is probably done with proprietary AT cmds on one of the serial interfaces.

cdc_mbim which you got when ejecting cd0 is the preferred protocol, it packs data very efficient on the USB carrier and it has a standardized command language.
Unfortunately, from what I can see it is not a protocol that FreeBSD has a driver for but they will more or less be forced to implement it since it will be the dominating protocol for years to come.
