Re: USB ADSL Modem name visible in Network preferences,

I've got an ADSL USB modem from Alcatel, namely the SpeedTouch 330

In my tool (a connection tool for an ISP), I build a list of Network ports, just like the Network control panel does.
I use MoreSCF to do that with the routine MoreSCCreatePortArray()

Unfortunately, the name I get from MoreSCF is "alcatel-port"

But the name displayed by Network is "Alcatel SpeedTouch USB"

Does someone know where that name is stored ??
Is it related to the fact that it's a USB modem, so should I ask the USB driver for that name ?

For USB serial devices, the Network prefs panel gets the name from I/O Registry. MoreSCF is supposed to do the same thing. What version of the MoreSCF package are you using? The latest, 1.0b3, is on the web site.

Look at the routine CopyUserVisibleNameForModemOrSerialPort, which contains the special case for the USB serial devices. You should be able to step through that routine to work out why it's going wrong.
