Hello,

I am trying to get a Novatel Wireless Ovation U720 EVDO modem to work with Freebsd.
So far I am not having any luck. When it is plugged in it is recognizes as a ugen device it
needs to look like a serial device, as it is sort of like a hayes modem.

Hi,
I wonder if it works like some of the other EVDO / EDGE devices I have used. If so, try the info on the page below and modify the vendor ID info to match your card

I got it to work for my Kyrocera EVDO as well as GT-MAX EDGE card which had a similar "UGEN Com" base.

It has a vendor id of 0x1410 and a product id of 0x2110. I tried adding these to
usbdevs and ubsa.c but it is still recognized as ugen0.

Plugging it into a linux laptop it is recognize as a ttyUSBn device and using ppp we were able to
get connected to the internet. I would like to be able to use it with Freebsd 6.2 though.

Thanks,
Steve
