Say hello to the u3g driver, implementing support for 3G modems. This was located in the ubsa driver, but should be moved into a separate driver: - 3G modems provide multiple serial ports to allow AT commands while the PPP connection is up. - 3G modems do not provide baud rate or other serial port settings. - Huawei cards need specific initialisation. - ubsa is for Belkin adapters, an Linuxy choice for another device like 3G. Speeds achieved here with a weak signal at best is ~40kb/s (UMTS). No spooky STALLED messages as well. Next: Move over all entries for Sierra and Novatel cards once I have found testers, and implemented serial port enumeration for Sierra (or rather have Andrea Guzzo do it). They list all endpoints in 1 iface instead of 4 ifaces. Submitted by: aguzzo@anywi.com MFC after: 3 weeks

.Sh NAME
.Nm u3g
.Nd USB support for 3G datacards
.Sh SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel,
place the following lines in your
kernel configuration file:
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
.Cd "device u3g"
.Cd "device ucom"
.Ed
.Pp
Alternatively, to load the driver as a
module at boot time, place the following line in
.Xr loader.conf 5 :
.Bd -literal -offset indent
u3g_load="YES"
.Ed
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
driver provides support for the multiple USB-to-serial interfaces exposed by
many 3G usb/pccard modems.
.Pp
The device is accessed through the
.Xr ucom 4
driver which makes it behave like a
.Xr tty 4 .
.Sh HARDWARE
The
.Nm
driver supports the following adapters:
