A somewhat old issue that we ran into when we wanted to move some old
Soekris based devices off RELENG_4 to something a little more upto
date. The device is not detected with a stock RELENG_6 or RELENG_7
kernel. Searching around, I found an explanation in
http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/htdig/freebsd-mobile/2004-May/003813.html
and the patch
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-mobile/attachments/20040517/3896d106/xircom_2.obj
which I hand applied to RELENG_7 since its a bit out of date. The
modem is now detected, but when loading if_xe, the box locks. I am
only interested in using the modem portion of it, so it doesnt matter
the network part does not work.
Is there a better way to get the modem working than using the above patch ?
