Description caterpillar 2001-05-21 20:30:02 UTC

Im trying to get a USB modem to be detected by the USB subsystem
of the kernel. Althoughn it detects the name/model of the USB modem, it
is not recognised as a modem and then appears as device UGEN0.

Is anyone doing work in the UK to support ASDL modems - or have I
missed something in the kernel config stuff. I even modifed the fixed 
list of device entries in the usr/src/sys/dev/usb directory to include
the specific device vendor and product ID's. I also tried looking at
what usbquirks.c does - but could work out how the device Class type
was being recognised or not as the case may be!

The device class/subclass that it reports (using Linux, sorry.) is 0xff
/0x00 if thats any help/indication.

I really need to get this thing working under unix, I dont want to
resort to using Windows NT/2000 (shudder, sounds of vomiting).

Any help, guidance, support would be most appreciated.

How-To-Repeat: Buy an Alcatel Speed T USB Modem and plug it in!

There is support for the Alcatel SpeedTouch ADSL USB modem. You need
to download a proprietary binary from Alcatel to use with the Opensource

driver. For more information on how to do this, contact me, since i live

in the UK and i've got this modem and managed to get it working.
My email is <sehh@altered.com>

See http://www.xsproject.org/speedtouch/ for a working FreeBSD driver.
