Hello,

A friend gave me a usb modem recently.  The model is:
Multi-Tech Systems - Multi-Modem USB - MT5634ZBA

The Linux driver info is here:
ftp://ftp.multitech.com/usb/usb-linux2.txt

When I plug this device into FreeBSD I get a ugen0 device.

So I tried hacking into the driver itself:

diff --git a/sys/dev/usb/serial/umodem.c b/sys/dev/usb/serial/umodem.c
index c1e8812..9886294 100644
--- a/sys/dev/usb/serial/umodem.c
+++ b/sys/dev/usb/serial/umodem.c
@@ -136,6 +136,7 @@ static const STRUCT_USB_HOST_ID umodem_host_devs[] = {
         {USB_VPI(USB_VENDOR_KYOCERA, USB_PRODUCT_KYOCERA_AHK3001V, 1)},
         {USB_VPI(USB_VENDOR_SIERRA, USB_PRODUCT_SIERRA_MC5720, 1)},
         {USB_VPI(USB_VENDOR_CURITEL, USB_PRODUCT_CURITEL_PC5740, 1)},
+       {USB_VP(0x06e0, 0xf107)},
  };

  /*


Now I get the following:

Nov 10 19:19:54 spigot kernel: ugen3.3: <Multi-Tech Systems, Inc.> at usbus3
Nov 10 19:19:54 spigot kernel: umodem0: <Multi-Tech Win95 Modem USB> on 
usbus3
Nov 10 19:19:54 spigot kernel: umodem0: data interface 1, has CM over 
data, has no break
Nov 10 19:19:54 spigot kernel: umodem0: Can't setup transfer
Nov 10 19:19:54 spigot kernel: device_attach: umodem0 attach returned 6

I read the Linux driver and it seems pretty similar, although it does 
look like they have a ton more quirks and edge cases the handle.  The 
file in Linux I'm looking at is: linux/drivers/usb/class/cdc-acm.c  
(this seems to make the most sense given the instructions given at 
ftp://ftp.multitech.com/usb/usb-linux2.txt).

I tried turning on sysctl hw.usb.debug=10 however after doing so it 
didn't seem to want to probe anymore.

Any ideas?

I can ship this modem to someone if they are interested and have a good 
idea how to fix.

thank you,
-Alfred
