Has anyone tried this? Hello, I have not tried this on FreeBSD, but I have on Linux. ochi-hcd is a linux kernel module for USB host so you can't "run" it on FreeBSD. The Verizon cards are USB serial devices that you can talk to with minicom using an AT command set. Going online with one of these in FreeBSD involves modifying /etc/ppp/ppp.conf with the correct information. You have to initialize the card on a Windows machine. I used my roommate's notebook. I don't know if FreeBSD needs to be tweaked out the way Linux (ohci-hcd) does. > Thanks, > Chris - Mike
