That looks believable.  I've never been impressed with
devbridge's usability.  It was written for an embedded VPN
app and worked great there but I used to get kernel panics
on unbind (or not be able to unbind at all) when I tried to
use it on a regular machine.  (The VPN app never unbound.)

Doesn't exist, sorry.  I would consider devbridge very much
a work in progress.
