I think unfortunately that when a device shows up as ugen that means that the driver for it is not fully implemented yet. I noted this before and no one corrected or clarified it. ugen does not even have a manpage while things like umass do. Sorry. See if you can get your adsl provider to give you an adsl modem that commects to an ethernet NIC. That would be easier to set up. Or needle them to provide the detailed hardware specifications of the USB adsl modem to the FreeBSD project so someone can write good drivers for it.
