Bug Description

The USB Communications Device Class "Mobile Broadband Interface Model" (MBIM) is the USB-IFs alternative to the current chipset/vendor specific solutions to "Mobile Broadband" device management. The specification, including the management protocol description, can be downloaded from http://www.usb.org/developers/devclass_docs#approved

A new project similar to libqmi needs to be created:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59161

and is now in progress: https://gitorious.org/lanedo/libmbim and a modemmanager branch 'aleksander/mbim'.

See also bug #1169117.

Usb-modeswitch-data might have upstream what it needs. Quoting https://launchpad.net/debian/+source/usb-modeswitch-data/20121109-1:

"usb-modeswitch-data (20121109-1) experimental; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.
    - Preparation for future MBIM devices: new "NoMBIMCheck" config parameter
    - Change in modem rules (match devices, not interfaces), best used
      with usb_modeswitch 1.2.5 and up.
    + New devices"

MBIM support is now merged into ModemManager git master, and a preliminary version of libmbim is already available:
