Hi, Thanks for the replies. I tried kldload ugensa, then to see if it worked I disconnected the modem and connected again. Turns out that was a very bad idea, my entire screen was flooded with this message (again and again and again): xptioctl device pass not supported by kernel xptioctl put "device pass" in your kernel config file I could type into the terminal but couldn't see the output of anything else because this message flooded my entire screen. I reboot and type usbdevs to find out that the ZTE WCDMA device is actually connected to address 5. Well, I still don't know which thing on /dev it actually is. Is it /dev/sg8, /dev/da8, /dev/cd8? All of these are ZTE MMC or WCDMA as per the dmesg output. Are you talking about usb_serial.c in the FreeBSD source? I'll try to see if I can understand that (I know C programming but I know nothing about drivers, but I'm willing to fiddle around with it). Regards, Rama
