 
FreeBSD driver for Option HSDPA modemNewer HSDPA/UMTS/3G devices (USB dongles) from Option comes with a “packet interface” and requires a special driver, older cards should work just fine with ubsa(4), u3g(4) or any similar serial-over-USB driver.
The driver should support the following devices
Contact me if you have any other Option device, particularly of interest are the following devices; iCON 031, iCON 210, iCON 315, iCON 322, iCON 401, iCON 431, iCON 451, iCON 452. Note that the driver currently doesn’t recognize other devices, although most newer Option HSDPA devices should work. More devices IDs will be added as devices are found. If you own any newer Option device that appears as a USB device, please report back with the device ID. Note: iCON 7.2 devices with older firmwares are supported by ubsa(4) if you add the correct device ID, or by the new u3g driver available in 8-CURRENT. You have the old firmware the device ID of the mass storage device is 0×05C6 and changes when you switch the device. Note: This is NOT for cards based on the Nozomi chipset. DownloadFreeBSD 8 FreeBSD 8 Connection utility (beta) FreeBSD 7 Driver FreeBSD 7 Connection utility option-iconf.conf for devd (automatic mode switching) FreeBSD portsThe FreeBSD 7 driver can be installed through FreeBSD ports. It’s available in comms/hso-kmod > cd /usr/ports/comms/hso-kmod > make install Please see hsoctl(1) for instructions on how to connect to your provider. Manual installA simple make should do the trick. If the build would fail for some reason, make sure you have the latest tarball and that the usbdev patch was applied properly. If it still fails, send me a mail with the (whole) error message together with which FreeBSD version you are using. The following is only required for FreeBSD 7 These devices are so-called ZeroCD devices that when plugged in appears as a mass storage device with windows drivers. To get the HSDPA interface the device needs to be switched, this can be done automatically with camcontrol and devd. The umass(4) driver must be present in the kernel or loaded as a module for this to work. Add the following to a file called option.conf and place it in /etc/devd/ (create the directory if it doesn’t exits) then restart devd with /etc/rc.d/devd restart Make sure you replace the product id (0×6911) with the one your device has, you should be able to get it with usbdevs -v attach 100 { match "device-name" "umass[0-9]+"; match "vendor" "0x0af0"; match "product" "0x6911"; match "devclass" "0x00"; action "sleep 1; /sbin/camcontrol cmd `/sbin/camcontrol devlist | /usr/bin/grep ZCOPTION | /usr/bin/awk '{match($11, /pass[0-9]+/); print substr($11, RSTART, RLENGTH) }'` -c '01 00 00 00 00 00' -i 1 i1 > /dev/null"; }; Note that this is optional, you can always switch the device manually using camcontrol or with a program called usb_modeswith. Using the driverLoad the kernel module and plug in your device > kldload uhso.ko The following is only required for FreeBSD 7 If you have not installed the automatic mode switcher you need to switch your device, this can be done with for example camcontrol. > camcontrol devlist <ZCOPTION HSDPA Modem 3.00> at scbus8 target 0 lun 0 (pass1,cd1) The WWAN device is at cd1 (ZCOPTION, ZeroCd Option) > camcontrol cmd cd1 -c "01 00 00 00 00 00" -i 1 i1 If the driver identifies your device you should see something like this hso0: <Option N.V. Globetrotter HSDPA Modem, class 255/255, rev 1.10/0.00, addr 2> on uhub0 hso0: Ethernet address: 40:0c:e3:69:11:00 And a new network interface should have appeared > ifconfig hso0: flags=882<BROADCAST,NOARP,SIMPLEX> metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 40:0c:e3:69:11:00 In addition to this several TTY devices should have been created (usually 3) called /dev/cuaHSO0.{0-2} Connection with the uhsoctl connection utilityThe uhsoctl connection utility automatically creates and maintains a connection. It can run both in background and in foreground mode. The execution syntax is hsoctl [options] interface, the following options are recognized (most of with are optional). -a APN – Access point name Foreground example Hitting CTRL-C will close the connection. > uhsoctl -n -a bredband.tre.se -p 1234 uhso0 Searching for network (UMTS) Registered to "3" (UMTS) Connected to "3" (bredband.tre.se), carrier UMTS IP address: 78.156.206.64, Nameservers: 80.251.192.244, 80.251.192.245 Status: connected (UMTS), signal: -87 dBm ^C > Background example > uhsoctl -a bredband.tre.se -p 1234 uhso0 Searching for network (UMTS) Registered to "3" (UMTS) Connected to "3" (bredband.tre.se), carrier UMTS IP address: 78.156.206.64, Nameservers: 80.251.192.244, 80.251.192.245 > > uhsoctl -d uhso0 Disconnecting uhso0 > Manual connectionLook up the serial ports # sysctl dev.uhso dev.uhso.0.netif: uhso0 dev.uhso.0.type: Network/Serial dev.uhso.0.ports: 2 dev.uhso.0.port.control.tty: cuaU0.0 dev.uhso.0.port.control.desc: Control dev.uhso.0.port.application.tty: cuaU0.1 dev.uhso.0.port.application.desc: Application ... dev.uhso.1.type: Serial dev.uhso.1.ports: 1 dev.uhso.1.port.diagnostic.tty: cuaU1 dev.uhso.1.port.diagnostic.desc: Diagnostic Open /dev/cuaU0.0 (or cuaU0.1, any control or application port) in a terminal application, for example minicom.
