Here, O2 has given me one that probes in 5.0 as follows:

umass1 at uhub1 port 2 configuration 1 interface 0
umass1: HUAWEI Technology HUAWEI Mobile, rev 2.00/0.00, addr 3
umass1: using SCSI over Bulk-Only
scsibus1 at umass1: 2 targets, 1 lun per target
umass2 at uhub1 port 2 configuration 1 interface 1
umass2: HUAWEI Technology HUAWEI Mobile, rev 2.00/0.00, addr 3
umass2: using SCSI over Bulk-Only
cd1 at scsibus1 target 0 lun 0: <HUAWEI, Mass Storage, 2.31> cdrom removable
scsibus2 at umass2: 2 targets, 1 lun per target
sd4 at scsibus2 target 0 lun 0: <HUAWEI, SD Storage, 2.31> disk removable
sd4: drive offline
sd4(umass2:0:0:0):  Check Condition on CDB: 0x00 00 00 00 00 00
    SENSE KEY:  Not Ready
     ASC/ASCQ:  Medium Not Present

sd4: unable to open device, error = 19

... I will be installing -current from yesterday later today.

The u3g man page seems rather light on details on how to
configure this device and get it running.

Is there a useful guide on what's required to get the u3g driver
functioning with ppp/pppd?
