Verizon V620 wireless card

[John Nielsen]

I just want to report that I got this card working on my laptop running 
6-STABLE. (This should be a reply to this message but I couldn't find it 
locally):
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-mobile/2006-December/009404.html

Unlike the OP, the usb hub was recognized on my machine and gave me a ugen0 
device associated with the CDMA modem. So all I had to do was get the modem 
to attach to ucom or similar.

After a couple false starts I got a cue from this message:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2005-June/012512.html

The attached patch lets the card attach as a ubsa device. I'm also attaching 
the ppp.conf file I hacked up (it's been a while since I've made any ppp 
chat scripts so I'm sure it could be done more elegantly).

Here are the relevant bits of dmesg with the card inserted:

cbb0: <TI1520 PCI-CardBus Bridge> at device 11.0 on pci0
cardbus0: <CardBus bus> on cbb0
pccard0: <16-bit PCCard bus> on cbb0
cbb1: <TI1520 PCI-CardBus Bridge> at device 11.1 on pci0
cardbus1: <CardBus bus> on cbb1
pccard1: <16-bit PCCard bus> on cbb1
...
cardbus0: CIS pointer is 0!
cardbus0: Resource not specified in CIS: id=10, size=1000
ohci3: <NEC uPD 9210 USB controller> mem 0x88001000-0x88001fff irq 9 at 
device 0.1 on cardbus0
ohci3: [GIANT-LOCKED]
usb4: OHCI version 1.0
usb4: <NEC uPD 9210 USB controller> on ohci3
usb4: USB revision 1.0
uhub4: NEC OHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1
uhub4: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered
ucom0: Novatel Wireless Inc. Novatel Wireless Merlin CDMA, rev 1.10/0.00, 
addr 2
ucom0: ubsa_request: STALLED
ucom0: ubsa_request: STALLED
...
(lots more STALLED messages)

Despite the error messages it connects and works just fine, with performance 
similar to what I see in Windows (which isn't great in this area).

evs: Did you take ohci out of your kernel by any chance?

I'm open to feedback on what the STALLED messages might mean and how to get 
rid of them.
