Re: USB modem?
Is it a case of being in the usbdevs list _and_ supporting those specs? Or just following the specs? I believe that being listed in usbdevs isn't a requirement, but I'm not positive. I also haven't had any look getting the thing to work dynamically loading the various modules involved. It is detected as a generic device: ugen0: Siemens AG Vox Chicago 390 ISDN, rev 1.10/1.00, addr 2 I will try to build a kernel with the umodem device in it, see if that makes a difference -- Nice testing in little China...

Re: USB modem?
Whether a device is recognized by a driver depends on one thing only: the probe routine in the driver. It either has to conform to the specs and this device obviously doesn't, or it has to be supported by the driver and therefore the IDs of the device need to be known. The entries in usbdevs* are simply converted to a list of device names plus defines for the use of drivers, to make things simpler.

Re: USB modem?
I have a USB modem here, (Siemens), that I would like to get to work under FreeBSD, but I can't even find the right tools to get vendor and product ID's to add to usbdevs :-( Try looking in dmesg - USB device that don't have known product and vendor ID's have theirs printed. Failing that, check the usbdevs(8) man page. The serious catch about USB modems is that they have to support the USB CDC spec. Not all of them do. If it does, the serial device will be umodem0 (1, 2, 3, ...), and you use it just like a tty line tied to an external modem. Is it a case of being in the usbdevs list _and_ supporting those specs? Or just following the specs? I have the modem in the office, not at home. And of course there is that tricky part where Windows wants my BIOS set to PNP OS=YES and FreeBSD wants it set to NO. but well :-) we can survive that for the moment.
