Hi,
I booted DragonflyBSD (the latest IA32 usb bootable image), but I'm
having trouble connecting to the world wide web.
I have a ZTE Corporation K3800 3G USB Modem which I use on linux for
internet. I'm not sure what to do to connect to this modem?
I'm not sure which thing on /dev is the modem device? When I run
"dmesg | grep ZTE" I get about 4-5 lines, which say something like:
"pass9: ZTE MMC Storage Technology.... 40.00 Mb/s" e
"cd8: ZTE MMC Storage Technology.... 40.00 Mb/s"
"sg8: ZTE MMC Storage Technology.... 40.00 Mb/s"
"da8: ZTE MMC Storage Technology 40.00 Mb/s".
That's not the exact output, I just wrote what I can recall right now.
So, I have no idea which is which to be honest.
If it is any help, back when I was trying OpenBSD (few months back)
doing something like dhclient /dev/caCU0 used to magically work... I'm
using linux now so I forgot how I discovered the cryptic /dev/caCU0.
FreeBSD was similar, except that I remember the device name was
different. I will say that dhclient /dev/sg8|da8|cd8|pass9 doesn't
work on DF BSD.
I'm guessing something similar should work on DragonFlyBSD? I added
ucom_load=yes to loader.conf but that didn't seem to help. I couldn't
find u3g on DF? Any ideas if u3g exists on DragonFly?
Can anyone help me with getting my modem to work? Pretty please? I'm a
complete novice here
Following is dmesg | grep ZTE on my linux:

Here is ifconfig ppp0 on my linux when the device is connected and active:
