26 .Nd USB support for 3G datacards
28 To compile this driver into the kernel,
29 place the following lines in your
30 kernel configuration file:
31 .Bd -ragged -offset indent
37 Alternatively, to load the driver as a
38 module at boot time, place the following line in
40 .Bd -literal -offset indent
44 If neither of the above is done, the driver will automatically be loaded
45 by devd(8) when the device is connected.
49 driver provides support for the multiple USB-to-serial interfaces exposed by
50 many 3G USB/PCCard modems.
52 The device is accessed through the
54 driver which makes it behave like a
59 driver supports the following adapters:
63 Option GT 3G Fusion, GT Fusion Quad, etc. (only 3G part, not WLAN)
65 Option GT 3G, GT 3G Quad, etc.
67 Vodafone Mobile Connect Card 3G
69 Vodafone Mobile Broadband K3772-Z
71 Qualcomm Inc. CDMA MSM
73 Huawei B190, E180v, E220 ('<Huawei Mobile>')
75 Novatel U740, MC950D, X950D, etc.
77 Sierra MC875U, MC8775U, etc.
81 .Pa /sys/bus/u4b/serial/u3g.c
82 for the complete list of supported cards for each vendor
85 The supported 3G cards provide the necessary modem port for ppp, or mpd
86 connections as well as extra ports (depending on the specific device) to
87 provide other functions (additional command port, diagnostic port, SIM toolkit
90 In some of these devices a mass storage device supported by the
92 driver is present which contains Windows and Mac OS X drivers.
93 The device starts up in disk mode (TruInstall, ZeroCD, etc.) and requires
94 additional commands to switch it to modem mode. If your device is not
95 switching automatically, please try to add quirks. See
