Time to browse the kernel code? guess I'd better download it all .. been working off the generic kernel so far. It's no different, btw, on FreeBSD 4.5 release or the 4.5-stable snapshot of 31st march. I've subbed up to the bsd-usb list at yahoo, and posed a general question to them. However browsing through the archives I came across: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/usb-bsd/message/1416 which refers to a bug: an ininitialised value "intf.config_index", in usb_set_altinterface(). This subroutine seems to be included verbatim within pusb-bsd.c (as pusb_set_altinterface() ) so I think maybe the same fix is needed. However there is no dev->config that I can see. I'll have a play with hard coding 1 and 2 (being the two config numbers referred to elsewhere) and see what happens. Will try all this when I can prise the 2nd modem back off my partner who's shoved it straight into her WinXP PC "while you get it sorted" .. sigh ..
