Gerhard Roth helped add support for the original (non-eSIM) Dell DW5821e
device to umb(4) years ago on a Dell Latitude 7300. The Dell Latitude
Rugged 5430 can also be ordered with a Dell DW5821e Snapdragon X20 LTE
card but this one comes with a different USB ID (0x81e0 instead of
0x81d7) and has the eSIM selected as the default SIM out of the box. The
patch below adds support to usbdevs and if_umb.c for this new variant.
If you have this card in a system and want to use a physical SIM like I
do, you have to boot into a recent Ubuntu (I used 24.04 LTS on a USB
drive) or other Linux distro with good mmcli support and run:

sudo mmcli -m 0 --set-primary-sim-slot=1

Once this is done, Ubuntu or OpenBSD will happily connect using a SIM
card in the physical SIM card slot. Your modem could be at slot 1
instead of 0 as above and the physical SIM slot can be 0 in some cases
that people have posted online but, in my case, slot 1 is the physical
SIM and slot 2 is the eSIM. If someone could ok and commit, I would
greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

Bryan
