You may need to return it to the store and buy a different one, or get the interface specification out of the manufacturer and get a driver for it written. FreeBSD only supports USB modems that use the USB ACM interface. Modems that don't use that - which pretty much means they use a proprietary interface - aren't supported. If it is supported, it'll be reported as umodem, not ugen. Before giving up hope completely, try building a kernel with the USB modem support built statically. You'll need to have usb and one of uhci or ohci - whichever is recognized by your kernel, or both - as well as umodem. If you're running GENERIC, just add umodem. If you boot that kernel and it's not recognized as a umodem device, it won't work with the current driver. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
