net/usb: Add Samsung Kalmia driver for Samsung GT-B3730
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Introducing driver for the network port of Samsung Kalmia based USB LTE modems.
It has also an ACM interface that previous patches associates with the "option"
module. To access those interfaces, the modem must first be switched from modem
mode using a tool like usb_modeswitch.

As the proprietary protocol has been discovered by watching the MS Windows driver
behavior, there might be errors in the protocol handling, but stable and fast
connection has been established for hours with Norwegian operator NetCom that
distributes this modem with their LTE/4G subscription.

More and updated information about how to use this driver is available here:
