Belkin F5U103. Needless to say it fails miserably. The symptom is that having attached a known-good modem and using a known-good ppp config, I can dial and connect and authenticate etc, but having negotiated a connection the whole thing siezes up. It seems that at some point below tun0, something decides not to pass data through, and so nothing happens until buffers fill up and the whole thing grinds to a halt. So far as I can tell from looking at the blinkenlights, not a bit gets sent to the USB->serial pod after negotiation ends. Eventualy I start getting putc to a clist with no reserved cblocks errors on the console. If I had to guess, I'd say there was a handshaking issue. I'm not sure how to get some data to make a worthwhile bug report down at that level, so if someone can suggest soemthing I'll try and be more helpful. At this point I feel that the best thing for everyone would be if FBSD stopped pretending to have USB support, because nothing ever seems to work! ^_^ (O O) \_/@@\ \\~~/ ~~ - RJC
