Description

Hello Netgate Team,

The Router ZTE MF79U is not available in the list yet:
https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/cellular/hardware.html

I tried it on the own risk. On 2.6.0 CE I was not successful, the router was recognized as CD-Rom and Storage. usb_modeswitch didn't solve the problem, 'camcontrol eject cd0' removed the CD-Rom, but the ethernet inferface was not available. 'usbsonfig ... set_config 1' didn't help either.

Then I upgraded to pfSense 2.7.0 DEV. usb_modeswitch exited again with same error messages, as before. But 'camcontrol eject cd0' was better. When the CD-Rom ejects, there the new interface 'ue0' appears. Mapping WAN to ue0 brought the expected solution.

Please add the Router to the list with the comments.
