I tried building under both 7.1-PRERELASE from Sep 19 and 8.0-CURRENT (two 
days old or so). It builds under the former, but does not build under the 
latter, complaining about missing TS_CALLOUT.
That beeing said, under 7.1 it kldloads/kldunloads, and as soon as I have an 
access to Huawei E220 (temporary), I will test whether it works.
Is there anything special necessary to use this driver? Or is it just like 
using normal modem with ppp? I would like to know because my access to this 
device is currently limited only for some occasions.

Milan
