Description

This is a request to compile/include the 'if_urndis.ko' FreeBSH kernel module to allow the connection of generic (i.e. mobile phone) USB networking devices, particularly Android-based phones.

In my use-case, both my WAN1 (fibre) and WAN2 (ADSL) are currently unavailable, and this would allow me to provide temporary relief to my network via my mobile phone.

The following pfSense forum post provides some further information...
