What is 'usbctl'? only 'usbdevs' and usbhidctl... and this, usbhidctl, is not very useful I guess... so... I put /var/log/messages and 'usbdevs'. Note that I haven't 'usbmass' in my kernel; it's compiled as a module and not loaded. Then the huawei modem cannot be interpreted as a mass-storage devices.... can it? usbctl is part of a package called usbutil. You may download a package from the website of Bernd Walter: http://www.cosmo-project.de/~bernd/usbutil.tgz However, I don't why such a great tool isn't part of the ports tree (obsd + nbsd do have it in the tree). usbctl shows the interfaces and endpoints of a usb device. You may find a sample output of usbctl at http://bsd.vwsoft.com/3g/merlin_u740.html I would like to see the same output for the Huawei devices. I guess they have different interfaces and the first driver attaching to _and_ interface wins the whole device as the driver might return with UMATCH_DEVCLASS*, UMATCH_VENDOR* or similar.
