Trying to get the SpeedTouch ADSL modem to work with Freebsd 5.3-RELEASE,
I got the kernel error:

  | pppoa2 : pusb_endpoint_open failed
  |
  | WARNING: Driver mistake: destroy_dev on 238/1
  |
  | panic: don't do that

After some googling, I found a patch to ugen.h by Jay Cornwall, that
was posted to freebsd-current exactly a year ago today:

http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/current/2003-12/1005.html

I applied this patch to the ugen.c that comes with 5.3-RELEASE (patching
manually to cope with the changes to ugen.c since his patch was posted)
and everything has been working like a charm ever since (over a week later)

I was just wondering why this patch was never committed to the tree,
and if it's just been overlooked, is there any reason why it can't be
applied now ?

For reference, my patched up 5.3-RELEASE version, based entirely on
Jays changed merged into the current 5.3-RELEASE version is here:

Thanks,
