This is because other operating systems (TM) will then automatically look into this newly inserted this, and happily install drivers from there. Then the driver switches the device from the storage mode into modem/serial mode, and you can use it normally. For the two devices I currently have here (and from what I have heard/googled, it's common to to other devices too), sending simple eject command to them is sufficient to switch them from the storage mode to the modem mode. > > This way, we provide working modem to at least some subset of the devices > > automatically, others will still need to use usb_switchmode tool, but I > > even this I think is more user friendly. > Do you have a proposed patch for this?
