Hi all,
I am new to FreeBSD and I have a dual boot machine with a Huawei e1752 broadband modem. I have experience with Linux and Windows, so I am not completely clueless. However, I am struggling to cope with the FreeBSD Zeitgeist.
When I boot into FreeBSD (PC BSD version), the taskbar displaying the USB icon offers me three possibilities for my USB modem - two of which treat it as a digital camera and the other offers me the possibility to explore it using the file manager, which is no good since all the files are Windows exe's. The modem works fine under Linux.
I have Googled and the first step I have taken is to put the line
in /boot/loader.conf, and then I rebooted. Nothing seems to have changed.
What's my next step after adding that line? Is this even the right thing to do? At this stage, please keep explanations very, very simple.
TIA and rgs,
Paul.
