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:

Applied, thanks.

Actually, reverted.

There's a typo in your Makefile patch, and because of this it
won't even build the new driver.

Oh sorry, I did make on the actual kalmia.ko to avoid building all
modules, so I did not notice. Sending a fixed patch. Ben, thanks for
pointing out.

People are so damn anxious to get this backported into stable
and various distributions,

Japp, people keeps asking for a version that compiles with kernel 2.6.32
for the Ubuntu LTS...

 yet this patch wasn't even tested
properly.

We were compiling it out of the kernel tree until now.
