This was located in the ubsa driver, but should be moved into a separate
driver:
- 3G modems provide multiple serial ports to allow AT commands while the PPP
connection is up.
- 3G modems do not provide baud rate or other serial port settings.
- Huawei cards need specific initialisation.
- ubsa is for Belkin adapters, an Linuxy choice for another device like 3G.
Speeds achieved here with a weak signal at best is ~40kb/s (UMTS). No spooky
STALLED messages as well.
Next: Move over all entries for Sierra and Novatel cards once I have found
testers, and implemented serial port enumeration for Sierra (or rather have
Andrea Guzzo do it). They list all endpoints in 1 iface instead of 4 ifaces.

After I removed all the unit2minor()/minor2unit() calls from the kernel
yesterday, I realised calling minor() everywhere is quite confusing.
Character devices now only have the ability to store a unit number, not
a minor number. Remove the confusion by using dev2unit() everywhere.
This commit could also be considered as a bug fix. A lot of drivers call
minor(), while they should actually be calling dev2unit(). In -CURRENT
this isn't a problem, but it turns out we never had any problem reports
related to that issue in the past. I suspect not many people connect
more than 256 pieces of the same hardware.

Kick the device into the right mode if it comes up as a flash-disk.
Set the buffers to a sensible 1024 bytes instead of a far too small
default.
Don't attempt to change speed, baud, parity and such, the device does
not understand it.
this also can be happened if we pull the USN stick out forcibly.
Currently the ZyDAS driver uses tsleep() when it try to query a read
command to the device and it'd make a timeout if the device doesn't
response within about 1 sec.
In a case of that the USB stick is gone by hand and the driver's
scanning with changing the channel numbers, the thread which is sleeping
until a command requested is responded can be waked up after all
detaching routines finished that means the zyd softc already freed.
Tring to touch the softc freed by the wakeup thread makes a panic.
So make sure that all sleeping threads should be waken up before the
detach is completed and any other new requests to the device should be
prevented.
detaching that when the USB is pulled out forcibly during the driver is
running background scan, a page fault can be occurred even if we called
usb_rem_task() when detaching. It looks like a kind of races.
the device indicates that it wasn't able to write all the data in the
buffer out.
Ed Schouten doesn't like the idea of a panic here. I think for
production code, we need something better. For right now, while we're
trying to assess the impact of this issue, a panic is OK. So complain
to me, not him if this is hit.
from umodem and ufoma.
With these changes, umodem kinda works for me now. It certainly gets
past the "tip" bug that I found earlier where 115200 wasn't a valid
baud rate. This was "broken" in the mpsafetty commit, but in reality,
umodem was always broken.

lists in the Linux ipaq driver. I then took the numbers we had in
usbdevs and filled in the right symbols and eliminated duplicates.

The last half year I've been working on a replacement TTY layer for the
FreeBSD kernel. The new TTY layer was designed to improve the following:
- Improved driver model:
The old TTY layer has a driver model that is not abstract enough to
make it friendly to use. A good example is the output path, where the
device drivers directly access the output buffers. This means that an
in-kernel PPP implementation must always convert network buffers into
TTY buffers.
If a PPP implementation would be built on top of the new TTY layer
(still needs a hooks layer, though), it would allow the PPP
implementation to directly hand the data to the TTY driver.
- Improved hotplugging:
With the old TTY layer, it isn't entirely safe to destroy TTY's from
the system. This implementation has a two-step destructing design,
where the driver first abandons the TTY. After all threads have left
the TTY, the TTY layer calls a routine in the driver, which can be
used to free resources (unit numbers, etc).
The pts(4) driver also implements this feature, which means
posix_openpt() will now return PTY's that are created on the fly.
- Improved performance:
One of the major improvements is the per-TTY mutex, which is expected
to improve scalability when compared to the old Giant locking.
Another change is the unbuffered copying to userspace, which is both
used on TTY device nodes and PTY masters.
Upgrading should be quite straightforward. Unlike previous versions,
existing kernel configuration files do not need to be changed, except
when they reference device drivers that are listed in UPDATING.

corresponding USAGE should be skipped as well.
For example, below is a report desc fragment of some mouse:
COLLECTION
...
USAGE TWHEEL
FEATURE ...
...
USAGE WHEEL
INPUT ...
...
END COLLECTION
"USAGE TWHEEL" should be consumed after the FEATURE item is skipped,
otherwise, the INPUT item will be assigned to "USAGE TWHEEL" later,
other than "USAGE WHEEL".

This driver supports GW3887 based chipsets and works on
x86/powerpc/sparc64. You need upgtfw kernel module before loading
upgt(4). Please see the manpage.

The kbd, kbdmux, ugen and uhid drivers included <sys/tty.h>, because
they needed clists, which have been moved to <sys/clist.h> some time
ago. In the MPSAFE TTY branch, <sys/tty.h> does not include
<sys/clist.h>, which means we have to teach these drivers to include
this header file directly.
