small update:
on my other (recently setup) BSD system, which is: FreeBSD 6.2-
RELEASE #0: Fri Jan 12 10:40:27 UTC 2007
I see in /usr/src/sys/dev/usb that uftdi.c and "usbdevs" contain a
definition for this device.
so, can someone tell me how I can get this into the embedded image?
uftdi appears to not be there now, though it seems ucom may exist? -
I'm still very confused how everything is assembled into the Embedded
image. It would be great if there is a way I can just copy this over
- but I do not see a /sys/modules directory... (among other things,
like it couldn't be that simple ;-)
Thanks!

I know nothing of any Vodaphone pcmcia cards. This is just "normal"
off-the-shelf usb<->rs232 adapter that plugs into the USB port on
the host machine to provide an RS232 port. On a system that has
none or too few rs232, such as a laptop, a mac, or an ALIX.2C3
(which has one RS232 on board, but is tied up as the console ;-)
In my case, it is based on a chip by FTDI, others commonly use
prolific chip sets as well.
I'm still not sure where to look to determine what support has been
compiled into the embedded kernel. I'd much rather not have to
compile and build my own image, but I suppose I can if needed.
Thanks,

Does this mean Serial to usb as in Vodaphone pcmcia crds?

Is there a driver in 1.2-RC3-embedded for USB-Serial
converters? or a way to add it in?
-- this is on an ALIX.2C3 board built with
pfSense-1.2-RC3-Embedded.img -- so far everything else
is working great!
The converter does show up in the system.log as a
generic device, but I can't seem to talk to it:
Dec 12 23:33:23 hostname kernel: ugen0: FIDI
USBSERIALCONVERTER, rev 1.10/4.00, addr 2
I believe this is working in FreeBSD. (and likely in a
full install of pfSense?) Is this something that was
left out of the embedded version? Will I need to
build a new image? I do know this very converter works
well under both linux and OS X. - in fact I used it
under OS X to bring up the ALIX board serial console
in terminal.app - using screen - it worked very well.
I'm a newbie to BSD - just setup this pfSense FW as
well as a 'normal' FreeBSD box as well to do some
poking around and learning.
from OS X, the details of the converter are:
Version: 4.00
Bus Power (mA): 500
Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec
Manufacturer: FIDI
Product ID: 0x6001
Serial Number: FTCDLDDH
Vendor ID: 0x0403
Thanks for any and all help, pointers, or even RTFM
pointers if I missed it ;-)
