Hi Volker,

Thanks for the piece of software. I run into a small problem compiling
the code nozomi.c because the function bus_setup_intr() awaits one more
argument as it was called in nozomi.c; I checked the man page of
bus_setup_intr() and other divers how they call it and came up with this
small patch:

*** nozomi.c	2008-05-04 16:14:15.406582000 +0200
--- nozomi.c.orig	2007-04-18 00:47:50.000000000 +0200
***************
*** 1204,1210 ****
  	nozomi_tty_init(sc);
  
  	/* setup interrupt and interrupt handler */
! 	if(bus_setup_intr(dev, sc->intr_res, INTR_TYPE_TTY , NULL, nozomi_interrupt_handler, sc, &sc->intr_cookie)) {
  		printf("unable to register interrupt handler\n");
  		goto fail;
  	}
--- 1204,1210 ----
  	nozomi_tty_init(sc);
  
  	/* setup interrupt and interrupt handler */
! 	if(bus_setup_intr(dev, sc->intr_res, INTR_TYPE_TTY , nozomi_interrupt_handler, sc, &sc->intr_cookie)) {
  		printf("unable to register interrupt handler\n");
  		goto fail;
  	}

With this change the driver compiles fine and loads fine with
'kldload ./nozomi.ko'

On card insert it says:

May  4 16:19:54 rebelion kernel: nozomi0: <Option N.V. GlobeTrotter 3G+> mem 0xc8309000-0xc83097ff irq 16 at device 0.0 on cardbus0
May  4 16:19:54 rebelion kernel: nozomi0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
May  4 16:19:54 rebelion kernel: nozomi0: [ITHREAD]
May  4 16:19:55 rebelion kernel: nozomi0: ver. 3 with 2048 bytes of memory
May  4 16:19:55 rebelion kernel: nozomi0: initialization complete

As the next step I wanted to check with some serial line tool (kermit) how the
card answers on AT commands, but I don't see any /dev file coming up in
user space; am I missing something? what should be the name of the
device in user space? Thanks in advance
