Looking at the driver, I'm not sure if the latter will actually cause any problems for you, but the former will, so I'd recommend that you start with the uchcom source from before the new USB stack import: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/sys/dev/usb/Attic/uchcom.c?rev=1.1;content-type=text%2Fplain I wouldn't be too surprised if you find that compiles and works as-is.
