I have connected Teltonika TRM500 usb-modem to Proxmox, configured and mapped to interface wwan0, it gets a public ip from DHCP (no static ip available). I get connectivity to Internet from VE CLI.

What I want to achieve is to passthrough wwan0 connection to a VM running Opnsense. So I have created a Linux Bridge with Bridgeport wwan0 but it fails to get ip from DHCP. I don't understand why, can anyone give me some advice?


Reason why I don´t just passthrough USB directly to VM? Some kind of bug or lack of support in Opnsense so it doesen´t handel the modem correctly. The question above is a walk around that I think should work.
