umb(4), umbctl(8), OPNsense plug-in

Dear FreeBSD developers,

I have just been authorised to publish the source code of the implementatio=
n of
a kernel driver, support binary, and OPNsense plug-in for USB MBIM interfac=
es,
as offered by some LTE/4G USB modems.

The original code was taken from the OpenBSD project, where it is known as =
the
umb(4) driver. I had already ported this code pretty much as-is for NetBSD,=
 as
umb(4) as well, and added the support binary umbctl(8) (instead of ifconfig)
when I was contracted by ADISTA SAS (https://www.adista.fr) to create a ver=
sion
for FreeBSD, suitable for deployment in OPNsense. While I originally based =
this
effort on the OpenBSD and NetBSD versions, this required heavy changes to t=
he
kernel driver; the name is still umb(4), completed with an extended version=
 of
umbctl(8) (with JSON output).

I am therefore glad to upload this version here as an attachment, with the
additional copyright and license information as requested by ADISTA. I beli=
eve
these terms are fully compatible with the original license terms (3-clause =
BSD)
and with FreeBSD's own license terms, adding ADISTA's own copyright/credit
where applicable.

You are welcome to adapt, test, and integrate this code into FreeBSD's late=
st
development branch and releases. Let me know if you would need any addition=
al
help from my side.

HTH,
-- Pierre Pronchery <pierre@defora.net> for ADISTA (aka khorben@NetBSD.org)
