This question really should go to the -questions list, but since I just did a bit of research on this an hour ago, I'll state some of the general stuff. USB 2.0 uses the ECHI controller. The driver for this first appeared in FreeBSD 5.1, and" is not finished and is quite buggy." So don't expect much off of USB 2.0 for a while. However, every USB 2.0 motherboard that I am aware of also supports USB 1 through OHCI or UHCI. These work quite well. Your USB modem should support being connected to OHCI/UHCI, since most people still have USB 1. But check your modem documentation or the manufacturer's website. David
