Morning All, I have a Keyspan USA-28X USB serial converter and a Telstra NT1 Plus II (OPEN Networks Ltd) ISDN modem with USB connection that should both appear as ucom devices (I think) but both appear as ugen instead. They both get defined as serial devices using the manufacturer's device drivers on both MacOS X and Windows. I've been through the USB code as much as I'm capable and I'm lost as to how to make these devices appear as ucom. Trying to use the NT1 through the ugen device causes a kernel panic. Can anyone supply any hints? This is on FreeBSD 4.8-RC (the last one before the release). Thanks, Carl.

USB Serial devices appearing as ugen instead of ucom
I had a similar problem with some USB printers. It happened twice, first time I had forgotten to put ulpt option in kernel config. So I'd suggest you to enable every option related to USB that could match with your hardware in the kernel config, since you're not sure if it should be detected as ucom (I agree with u and think it should). Later I tried to add a second printer using USB but it was always recognized as an ugen device. I tried to switch USB ports, disconnected the first printer but nothing worked. I asked in freebsd-questions but didnt get any answer, so if you find any tip tell me please. :) I gave up and installed the second printer via parallel connection.

<sigh> I just realised that the From address on this message was wrong and any responses would have bounced. My apologies for that. If there were any responses could you resend them please.
