@Chiteri,

I have used Huawei modems on FreeBSD/PC-BSD without any problems. E160, E1750, E1820, E173.
If this Wi-Free uses PPP, then you should surely connect. However, I am not ready to comment on how things will be at protocol level. I just realized that I saw this thread's subject as WiFi and not Wi-Free. Sorry and apologies to the OP (Edge Kenya). This is my moment of 100% ignorance. I have no idea what Wi-Free is, to be honest. And I wasn't misquoted, Mickey. It's a case of mistaken reference:)

Another ignorant and perhaps lazy question please. Has anyone tried
Wif-Free on a FreeBSD box or any of its variants? My P.C BSD
installation works finely with my wireless card and I would like to
try Wi-Free on it with a GPRS / 3G modem.

If someone has done this before you can kindly explain the quirks if
you experienced any along the way.

Thank you.

Martin.
