 Yes, I can imagine three possible reasons:
 
 1) There is not any bug in umodem_set_comm_feature(), but the device
    would be buggy and could not accept requested settings, which
    I suppose are according to the specifications.
 
 2) There is some bug in umodem_set_comm_feature().
 
 3) It seems, that the device does not survive two configuration settings,
    however I do not understand which. See Linux discussion about this device
    https://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-usb-devel/2007/10/27/361160/thread
    and Matthias Fuchs: ... I found out that the 2.4 kernels send two
    'set configuration' requests to the USB modem. Either this is not
    allowed or the modem's firmware does not like this. After the 2nd set
    configuration request the device disconnects...
    Maybe FreeBSD had the same problem and configuration settings are
    performed in another place too.
 
 If you are interested, I can do any software tests you need or want
 to do, so that you can really understand what happens.
 
 In all events, MC75/ES75 immediately disconnects and resets. Attempts
 are repeated every 10 seconds (Unknown USB device is written by devd,
 I do not know why - but after patch it disappears):
