and updated comments in the usb_quirk.h header file. The main purpose of this is to expose the quirks for ejecting 3G modules. usb_modeswitch in Linux does a great job of collecting information on these, and with the quirks module people can try out the modeswitch config file entries on FreeBSD, hence the SCSI strings in the man page.

.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:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -bullet -compact
|
|
.It
|
|
Option GT 3G Fusion, GT Fusion Quad, etc. (only 3G part, not WLAN)
|
|
.It
|
|
Option GT 3G, GT 3G Quad, etc.
|
|
.It
|
|
Vodafone Mobile Connect Card 3G
|
|
.It
|
|
Qualcomm Inc. CDMA MSM
|
|
.It
|
|
Huawei B190, E180v, E220 ('<Huawei Mobile>')

|
|
Novatel U740, MC950D, X950D, etc.
|
|

|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
(See
|
|
.Pa /sys/dev/usb/serial/u3g.c
|
|
for the complete list of supported cards for each vendor
|
|
mentioned above.)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The supported 3G cards provide the necessary modem port for ppp, or mpd
|
|
connections as well as extra ports (depending on the specific device) to
|
|
provide other functions (additional command port, diagnostic port, SIM toolkit
|
|
port).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In some of these devices a mass storage device supported by the
|
|
.Xr umass 4
|
|
driver is present which contains Windows and Mac OS X drivers.
|
|
The device starts up in disk mode (TruInstall, ZeroCD, etc.) and requires
|
|
additional commands to switch it to modem mode. If your device is not
|
|
switching automatically, please try to add quirks. See
|
|
.Xr usbconfig 5
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr usb_quirk 4 .
