Hello, I am trying to get a Novatel Wireless Ovation U720 EVDO modem to work with Freebsd. So far I am not having any luck. When it is plugged in it is recognizes as a ugen device it needs to look like a serial device, as it is sort of like a hayes modem. It has a vendor id of 0x1410 and a product id of 0x2110. I tried adding these to usbdevs and ubsa.c but it is still recognized as ugen0. Plugging it into a linux laptop it is recognize as a ttyUSBn device and using ppp we were able to get connected to the internet. I would like to be able to use it with Freebsd 6.2 though.

If so, try the info on the page below and modify the vendor ID info to match your card http://www.semicomplete.com/blog/geekery/Kyocera-KPC650-EVDO-in-FreeBSD.html I got it to work for my Kyrocera EVDO as well as GT-MAX EDGE card which had a similar "UGEN Com" base. ---Mike>It has a vendor id of 0x1410 and a product id of 0x2110.
