20.Sh NAME
21.Nm umb
22.Nd USB Mobile Broadband Interface Model (MBIM)
23.Sh SYNOPSIS
24.Cd "umb*  at uhub?"
25.Sh DESCRIPTION
26The
27.Nm
28driver provides support for USB MBIM devices.
29.Pp
30MBIM devices establish connections via cellular networks such as
31GPRS, UMTS, and LTE.
32They appear as a regular point-to-point network interface,
33transporting raw IP frames.
34.Pp
35Required configuration parameters like PIN and APN have to be set
36with
37.Xr ifconfig 8 .
38Once the SIM card has been unlocked with the correct PIN, it
39will remain in this state until the MBIM device is power-cycled.
40In case the device is connected to an "always-on" USB port,
41it may be possible to connect to a provider without entering the
42PIN again even if the system was rebooted.
43.Sh HARDWARE
44The following devices should work:
45.Pp
46.Bl -tag -width Ds -offset indent -compact
47.It Medion Mobile S4222 (MediaTek OEM)
48.It Sierra Wireless EM8805
49.It Sierra Wireless MC8305

61.Re
62.Sh CAVEATS
63The
64.Nm
65driver does not support IPv6.
66.Pp
67Devices which fail to provide a conforming MBIM implementation will
68probably be attached as some other driver, such as
69.Xr umsm 4 .
