For PnP support, you need to have FreeBSD 2.2.6.
1. If you don't have 2.2.6, see if the modem came with a program to
hardwire its resources.
2. If you do have FreeBSD 2.2.6, configure a new kernel with
controller pnp0
boot with this kernel. You can use "pnpinfo" to find out some
information about the pnp devices you have. This will let you know
what LSN and CSN. Mine says:
bandersnatch# pnpinfo
Checking for Plug-n-Play devices...
Card assigned CSN #1
Vendor ID DAV0001 (0x01003610), Serial Number 0x00000295
PnP Version 1.0, Vendor Version 16
Device Description: DAVICOM 336PNP MODEM
...
etc
Now reboot, and at the boot prompt use a "-c" to configure the
kernel. Use "help" to show you how to set the resources for the pnp
modem. Set the irq and port to be the same as the com port (sioX) at
which you want it.
