Dear all, I am new to this list and to FreeBSD in general, so first of all hi everyone and thank you for providing this awesome and rock solid OS. I have a CDC compliant (at least this is what the manufacturer claims) USB Modem, which doesn't get detected by cdce module. /var/log/messages reports: root: Unknown USB device: vendor 0x0451 product 0x6060 bus uhub0 kernel: ugen0.2: <Texas Instruments> at usbus0 usbconfig list reports: ugen0.2: <Texas Instruments CDC Ethernet/RNDIS Adapter Texas Instruments> at usbus0, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=FULL (12Mbps) pwr=ON I tested this with FreeBSD 8.2 and FreeBSD 9.0RC2, the situation doesn't change. I tested this modem on Linux, which is able to detect and properly use this modem via USB with module: cdc_ether I suspect that some trivial changes to cdce module would get this modem up and running, but I am too newbie to do this on my own, so I thought to ask this ML for help on this topic. I took a look to cdce, on kernel sources included with FreeBSD 8.2 release, more precisely to: dev/usb/net/if_cdce.c I assume that a device specific entry to: static const struct usb_device_id cdce_devs[] would do the trick, wouldn't it? How should I edit this file in a sane way and test if this device get recognized? I tried some USB_VPI combinations adding the afore mentioned identifiers from /var/log/messages, the device got recognized correctly by cdce, but the dhclient command hanged as if the communication with the device failed. I am currently on a fresh, just installed, FreeBSD 8.2 AMD64 system. Sorry if I missed to report some crucial information, if so, please let me know. Regards. -- Lorenzo Cogotti
