Hi all!

I'm trying to use a Huawei E220 UMTS USB modem on an ALIX, using OpenBSD
Flashdist 20080504.

I have extended the GEODE configuration as follows:

# diff -c /opt/flashdist-20080504/GEODE /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/conf/GEODE
*** /opt/flashdist-20080504/GEODE       Sun May  4 21:32:07 2008
--- /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/conf/GEODE   Wed Jul 16 21:36:15 2008

  umodem*       at uhub?                # USB Modems/Serial

  #ucom*        at ubsa?
  #uftdi*       at uhub?                # FTDI FT8U100AX serial adapter

With the kernel built from this configuration, Flashdist sees the Huawei
thing as "ugen0", while I expected to see it as "ucom0".

Is there anyone in here who can weigh in with some advice regarding
initialization of the Huawei E220? I do know that the E220 needs some
trickery to kill off its mass storage part in order to make the serial
part available. However, I have never worked with this myself, neither
on OpenBSD nor on Linux where the procedure appears to be fairly common.

Also, how can I tell if the kernel built from the above configuration
really has support for umsm?

Thanks for your time,
