    Good evening, everyone.

    I have the above modem (Which is actually cable modem router; it allows
    two simultaneous connections through the ethernet and USB ports on
    separate computers). I have found out that I was getting carrier
    droppage through my ethernet card (I'll mess with a new cable later ;-).
    Anyway, I decided to try the USB interface. I have the usb kernel
    modules installed right now. Both of my devices (a Compaq IJ650 InkJet,
    and the modem) are detected by the UHCI kernel modules. When I try
    inserting the aue module, it doesn't activate my modem.

    When I do insert the modem, the ugen module receives the USB connection.
    Ok, seemed fine thus far. But when I try to setup my DHCP connection
    using ugen0 as my network interface, no go.

    In linux, I get the following class/vendor ID (output from lsusb):
    Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0bb2:6098 Ambit Microsystems Corp.

    Also, in Linux, I'm using the acm and CDCEther kernel modules. So, I
    know it's a CDCE-type device.

    So, my question is this: Is this modem's USB interface supported in
    FreeBSD 4.8 and/or 5.1? If so, which kernel module(s) can be used. If
    not, oh well. Time to buy the replacement Ethernet cable.
