A factory default FireBrick configuration will work with a ZTE MF823 dongle without any additional configuration
So, as BT apparently want to take an age to get a connection in, I wanted to get online with a FB and a 4G stick, in this case, a non vendor locked ZTE MF823 from Amazon, and an ASDA sim.
*The FireBrick will DHCP an address in the 192.168.0.x range from the ZTE dongle

*You can access the dongle's web interface via http:192.168.0.1
Dongle is on default IP address of <tt>192.168.0.1</tt> and tested on a FireBrick 2700 Fully Loaded, with 1.42.100 firmware.
*There will be NAT performed by the FireBrick and then again by the dongle
