I've been searching for guides on how to use a 3g usb modem with FreeBSD and there are quite a number so am not sure which provides a definitive solution. It appears that you need to know whether your modem is supported before trying to set it up, and I read somewhere that the place to look is /sys/dev/usb/serial/u3g.c. I've looked and don't see any mention of a Huawei E1550. Does that mean there is no point in trying to set it up? If I tried to use this modem, at what point would I find that it will not work with FreeBSD?
When I insert it there are some messages re cd0 and da1 which mention storage devices, but I've read that I need to use modeswitch before I can use it as a modem under FreeBSD, but if it isn't supported then will modeswitch work?

How do I use camcontrol+devd ?
These are some of the links I read which only go far as to confuse me even more...
