Hello List, I've recently installed FreeBSD on my laptop and everything seems to be working except my Novatel mobile modem. It's a modem that plugs into a USB port and gives me network access off nearby mobile towers. My issue is, I hope, mostly one of ignorance. When I was running Linux on my laptop, I'd plug the modem in and Network Manager would detect it and automatically start a connection. Making the transition to FreeBSD I've found there isn't any automated process. So I have two questions: 1. How can I find out if FreeBSD has the proper drivers/firmware to run the modem? 2. Assuming the modem is supported, how do I get it working? Thank you.
