I've got an olde thinkpad and picked up a "Syntax USB-400" 802.11b
interface on a USB stick (heck, it's free after rebate):

When I plug it in, usbd sees it as a generic device:
ugen0: vendor 0x0967 product 0x0204, rev 1.10/1.32, addr 2
This appears to be a prism2 chipset, judging by code found while
googling the hex numbers above -- from linux-wan-ng.
I cut and paste dev/attach/detach lines from elsewhere /etc/usbd.conf
which handle USB ethernet devices:
device "USB 802.11b"
vendor 0x0967
product 0x0204
devname "[ackr]ue[0-9]+"
attach "/etc/pccard_ether ${DEVNAME} start"
detach "/etc/pccard_ether ${DEVNAME} stop"
Stop and restart usbd, insert the dongle. It reports the same message
as before, as if it's not finding a match on the vendor/product? The
power(?) indictor on the dongle never lights. If I reboot the machine
with the dongle inserted, the light does come on, but the usbd still
doesn't see the dongle as a network device.
Any pointers? Thanks.
