Hi there

I'm looking for any help out there. I have a USB relay controller that 
should be seen as a modem. I think there was something similar working 
before under FreeBSD called a PICKit. When I look up the error I'm getting 
it points to this kit. The vendor ID seems to be the same.

The chip on the controller I have is a PIC18F24 J50.

When I plug it in on a FreeBSD8.2 AMD64 release I get the following:
root: Unknown USB device: vendor 0x04d8 product 0x000a bus uhub2
kernel: ugen2.2: <Microchip Technology Inc.> at usbus2

# usbconfig list
ugen2.2: <CDC RS-232 Emulation Demo Microchip Technology Inc.> at usbus2, 
cfg=0 md=HOST spd=FULL (12Mbps) pwr=ON


If I plug it into my Linux netbook running Ubuntu it works fine and comes up 
as such:
[ 4607.992101] usb 5-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 
2
[ 4608.198575] usb 5-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
[ 4608.234905] cdc_acm 5-1:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device
[ 4608.237372] usbcore: registered new interface driver cdc_acm
[ 4608.237385] cdc_acm: v0.26:USB Abstract Control Model driver for USB 
modems and ISDN adapters

I can provide access to the machine with device plugged into it.

Thanks
Clay
