Those modern 3G devices present themselves as CD-ROM devices when you insert them. Very useful when using Windows, so you can install the drivers before using the device. However, FreeBSD doesn't need the virtual CD, so it has to skip to the point where the device is attached as a USB modem. So Andrew likes to know which cards stay in the virtual CD mode. -- Lars [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAktFoIwACgkQKc512sD3afgt4ACgpB60rm9AQMe6WAo8yr2C0OjR 57MAoMcIln6pLk5EyLgdbITaYYcpVS84 =lZkD -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----help
