I've had occasion to want to be able to load the ucom driver while customizing how it attaches devices. Especially, I have the Qualcomm 5220 EVDO modem card in mind, which can function as a USB serial device but does not make itself known as a generic serial device. It happens that Linux can use its stock serial USB driver for the 5220 by loading it with some parameters... modprobe usbserial vendor=0xf3d product=0x0112 ...that direct the driver to attach a specified vendor/product. It's not apparent to me that FreeBSD has a comparable feature for its USB drivers (or ucom in particular). In fact, there isn't any way (well, not mentioned on the kldload man page) to pass parameters of any kind to ucom. How would one solve this problem in FreeBSD? Would one have to create a new, specialized USB driver that works in concert with the ucom device driver after the fashion of the uplcom or umct drivers?
