take a look at the man page for u3g. You can also look in the source
code.  Often, to support slightly newer chipsets, you just need to add
the device IDs

e.g. see

/usr/src/sys/dev/usb/serial/u3g.c

There are quite a few there.  Also, some devices use a different driver,
especially Option can make use of the uhso driver. I dont have an
experience with that.
