Option HSDPA USB dongle and mode switching

[Peter Schuller]

Hello,

I just got a subscription with an Option HSDPA USB dongle.

The modem in it supposedly works (based on 
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-bugs/2007-April/023492.html, but 
first you have to make it switch from mass storage device (containing Windows 
drivers) to modem.

But the mode switching implemented by iconv_switch (against libusb, referenced 
in the post above) requires two functions that don't seem implemented on 
FreeBSD:

% gcc -L/usr/local/lib -lusb -lusbpp -I/usr/local/include -o ttt icon_switch.c                                                                      
prometheus:/tmp(1)
/var/tmp//ccCnzzjn.o(.text+0x26e): In function `main':
: undefined reference to `usb_get_driver_np'
/var/tmp//ccCnzzjn.o(.text+0x2a7): In function `main':
: undefined reference to `usb_detach_kernel_driver_np'

Would anyone know of a way to make such USB dongles work, other than properly 
looking into this stuff and making the necessary code changes?
