As I said in another email, the Linux uses zaurus driver for this USB lan 
devices. I have checked the freebsd list that it uses cdce driver to support 
zaurus USB devices. But some zaurus usb devices don't report its class and 
interfaces correctly. It should works if we can add the product ID and vendor 
ID into the drivers manually. 

The zaurus drivers in linux complains about the incompliance of USB devices of 
zaurus (CDC) so Linux developer developed a specific driver for that. 

I don't want to make a specific driver for FreeBSD since I am a newbie to 
freebsd. What I want to do is to add the vendor and product information to the 
driver manually by myself.


Thanks
Regards

Zongjun

Hello,

Please check here if your hardware is supported:
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.1R/hardware-i386.html#ETHERNET

Sometimes even if your specific hardware is not listed, it might work if it 
uses a supported chipset.

Hope this helps,

Jansen
