FreeBSD and LTE USB modem

W

wlfb

I recently started using freebsd FreeBSD and I have a workstation with 9.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE #0. I also have an LTE USB modem.

Code: 
#usbconfig
ugen4.2: <Modem Yota GCT SEMICONDUCTOR Inc> at usbus4, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=ON

When I connect the modem /var/log/messages says:
Code:

Everything works, I can even open a web page. ifconfig sees the network interface ue0.
Code: 
ue0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        ether 00:09:00:62:c8:7d

        nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
But after turning off and turning on the workstation, the network interface ue0 is not included.
Code: 
# /var/log/messages
kernel: ugen4.2: <GCT SEMICONDUCTOR Inc> at usbus4
kernel: umass0: <GCT SEMICONDUCTOR Inc Modem Yota, class 0/0, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 2> on usbus4

kernel: umass0: at uhub4, port 2, addr 2 (disconnected)
kernel: ugen4.2: <GCT SEMICONDUCTOR Inc> at usbus4
ifconfig is silent:
Code: 
# ifconfig ue0
ifconfig: interface ue0 does not exist

The ue0 interface is not up after a reboot. Can someone give me an idea to solve this problem?
Thanks.
 
Code: 
# unplug the modem, plug it back in
# wait eight seconds or so... then
# untested:
sh /etc/rc.d/netif onerestart
Might work. Cannot test it here.
 
Thank you for having responded. The modem is plugged in and turn on the workstation.

Unplug the modem, plug it back in...wait a few seconds

If the computer is turned on and after loading, plugging the modem, everything works. Even if I unplug the modem and plug in again then, too, will work. And if I plug the modem before turning on the computer, modem will not work. The modem will not work after restarting the computer, too. I need that would have modem worked after a reboot and the power on of a workstation. Do not always have the option to unplug and plug the modem. I am a little worried that it was hard to understand me, because of my poor English.
Thanks
