One has to remember that USB is just the bus just like pci, microchannel, etc. Even though you have access to the device on the bus you still need a driver for that specific ethernet chip your kernel. This is analogous to having a video card on the pci bus, you still need for the kernel to drive the specific chipset of the card regardless if it can see it on the bus. I have an HTC Nexus One so I may fiddle with this and see if I can help some more here. I am wishful that at least we can get a tty just like other gsm modems and from there it's pretty straight forward using wvdial or alike. If it's only the Ethernet over usb like you mention, then the chipset driver would have to be translated/ported to the FBSD kernel, if it's not already there ? > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
