cannot detect soft-modem on HDA bus

[Dennis Melentyev]

Alex,

Do not translate Russian text directly, it is just unreadable this way :)
BTW, a friend of mine used to use some USB modem without problems.

Ok, If you blame HDA driver design, be constructive and put more details:

0. Be polite and accurate - no one is perfect and just do their best.
And Ariff did a lot for this driver. On the other hand, I know you as
an adequate person, so this could be just a problem with your English.
1. You've mentioned, that driver does not enumerate/identify modem
devices (done)
2. Provide HW-specific info: it could be known problem. You have to
provide output from verbose dmesg, PCI ID's, etc, not just notebook
model name. (vendor-specific features are the worst nightmare with HDA
and other modern HW)
3. Point to specific design problems of the driver (not just "screwed
up driver design")
4. Point to modem driver that could theoretically work in this environment
5. Provide some funding, if you really care about this and willing to
improve FreeBSD project

PS. It is an Open Source world. Everything is provided AS IS.
PPS. Anyway, I doubt this modem will ever work since there are too few
developers that _ABLE_ _AND_ _WILLING_ to dig that loads of shit. Just
IMHO.
