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. From what I recall I was able to
register the device to the network by sending the PIN command through
the modem port but after using a software usb sniffer in windows I
noticed that this command and others (network status maybe) are sent
using the 2nd serial port.
If this is correct, the PIN command can be sent through the normal
dialup script, with a pause before the dialing attempt to let the
device register. Of course after the device is registered this is
unnecessary and time consuming.
I'm thinking of doing a small daemon where you just need to configure
the 2nd serial port and the PIN and it takes cares of registering the
device on the network, monitor network status, signal strength,etc.
The Vodafone OSX driver+App does this, contrary to the "I'm on/off"
Windows App so if anyone knows a USB data software sniffer for OSX I
could get the reverse engineer the commands .
Of course, this will only work if the 2nd serial port gets usable in FreeBS=
D.
This small app can then be used to drive more 3G cards which I guess
some people would welcome :)
