noone has this issue??

stephenw10

It could be that your modem is already supported by u3g under 2.1 so there is no need to use usb_modeswitch.
Or that you're using the wrong version?

in 2.1 if it is supported,, will my modem wll be attached as /dev/cuaU0??

stephenw10

Probably, though many modems present several serial ports only one of which will work.

Your usb_modeswitch log from 2.1 shows it is unable to send the message to the device. You will need a version of usb_modeswitch compiled for freebsd 8.3. How did you install it?

SOLVED..by simply issuing cd eject command.,
#cdcontrol -f /dev/cd0 eject

You can use shellcmd to run it at boot:

#!/bin/sh
cdcontrol -f /dev/cd0 eject

/etc/rc.reload_interfaces

databeestje

Check the /etc/rc boot script. We already eject for ZTE and HUAWEI devices. What brand is this?
