This package provides the option kernel modules initially backported from
linux-2.6.27.9 and subsequently updated with code from linux-3.4-rc2 (for
HUAWEI and ZTE devices) to provide extra support for those GSM modems.
It is built to depend upon the specific ABI provided by a range of releases
of the same variant of the Linux kernel and not on any one specific build.
