5G NR support

[Bjørn Mork]

Hello!

I must admitting that I haven't been closely following the development
here lately, so I have probably missed a few things.

But I just stumbled across
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/network/mb-5g-data-class-support
and wondered if anyone is working on implementing that?

It seems like the USB-IF have just dropped out, as pointed out by
Microsoft.  I don't know how vendors are responding to this.  But I
guess it will be pretty hard to implement MBIM support on a 5G NR modem
without having some way to express the new radio interface.


And I ended up reading that because I was pointed to
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/network/mb-base-stations-information-query-support
which also seems like a very useful MBIM alternative to the QMI NAS "Get
Cell Location Info".  Is that something anyone has on the radar?

Personally I don't have any newer devices, so I have no idea what modem
vendors are doing these days.  They might all have moved on to
proprietary PCIe solutions for all I know..
