David(author) and I and a bunch of others are fairly convinced that it's a bug in the USB stack. We can get PPP to work, but the "standard" stuff doesn't seem to. Josef Karthauser(SP?) <joe@FreeBSD.org> drops by occasionally, but seems to be VERY busy with school. I'd love to test stuff, but Joe seems to think that the 5-CURRENT stack and 4-STABLE stack have diverged significantly. I'd be willing to test 4-STABLE patches, but my laptop HDD isn't big enough for me to run 5-CURRENT as well as 4-STABLE. One of the other Pilot-Link guys had threatened to send me a 40G Laptop HDD, but that hasn't happened yet. I'm still willing to help if I can......
