Hi Joao and everybody: I hacked ubsa as well before posting in this list with no positive result. My system do not detect any serial port. I'm very frustrated with this issue because I can't use the modem in FreeBSD... an Option HSDPA pcmcia doesn't work too... very very disappointed... Thanks, greetings, Jes On Wed, 14 Feb 2007 16:11:21 +0000 Joao Barros <joao.barros@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all, > > Sorry for my late coment on this, but after getting a new Macbook Pro > I got distracted ;) > In December I was looking into this and (I'm talking out of my head > now) after I patched ubsa with this device IDs I got it to be > detected, although it only connects to one of the two serial devices > present, the modem one I think.
