Hi there, The site I downloaded the driver from mainly does drivers for Linux but they had a development version for BSD which I downloaded. The URL is http://eciadsl.flashtux.org/download.php?lang=en (BSD stuff athe the bottom of the page). dmesg didn't mention the modem which is a Dlink DSL-200 USB ADSL modem which as usual only has drivers for Windows. This seems to be the only way to get connected with this device.
