Hello Bjorn, Thanks for your help, the problem is solved and the blame go to the usb_modeswitch executable that failed to change the configuration. However, changing the configuration was successful when writing directly into the kernel :-) My Linux system already use the latest usb_modeswitch (2.5.1) and libusb (1.0), so it seem that the blacklist of the HID driver is a local work-around for a problem with my Linux system - and is not relevant to others. Thanks GalS Details: ====== ====== 1. usb_modeswitch failed to change configuration with "interface 2 claimed by usbhid" error: $ usb_modeswitch -v 1410 -p 9030 -u 3 -V 1410 -P 9032 usb 1-1.1.3: New USB device found, idVendor=1410, idProduct=9030 usb 1-1.1.3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 usb 1-1.1.3: Product: MiFi USB730L usb 1-1.1.3: Manufacturer: Novatel Wireless usb 1-1.1.3: SerialNumber: 0123456789ABCDEF cdc_ether 1-1.1.3:1.0 usb0: register 'cdc_ether' at usb-ci_hdrc.1-1.1.3, CDC Ethernet Device, 8e:3a:62:f5:06:98 hid-generic 0003:1410:9030.0062: device has no listeners, quitting usb 1-1.1.3: usbfs: interface 0 claimed by cdc_ether while 'usb_modeswitch' sets config #3 cdc_ether 1-1.1.3:1.0 usb0: unregister 'cdc_ether' usb-ci_hdrc.1-1.1.3, CDC Ethernet Device usb 1-1.1.3: usbfs: interface 2 claimed by usbhid while 'usb_modeswitch' sets config #3 usb 1-1.1.3: usbfs: interface 2 claimed by usbhid while 'usb_modeswitch' sets config #3 usb 1-1.1.3: usbfs: interface 2 claimed by usbhid while 'usb_modeswitch' sets config #3 usb 1-1.1.3: usbfs: interface 2 claimed by usbhid while 'usb_modeswitch' sets config #3 $ usb-devices | grep -B 3 -A 8 Vendor=1410 T: Bus=01 Lev=03 Prnt=03 Port=02 Cnt=01 Dev#=112 Spd=480 MxCh= 0 D: Ver= 2.00 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS=64 #Cfgs= 3 P: Vendor=1410 ProdID=9030 Rev=03.10 S: Manufacturer=Novatel Wireless S: Product=MiFi USB730L S: SerialNumber=0123456789ABCDEF C: #Ifs= 3 Cfg#= 1 Atr=80 MxPwr=500mA I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=ef(misc ) Sub=04 Prot=01 Driver=rndis_host I: If#= 1 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=0a(data ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=rndis_host I: If#= 2 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=03(HID ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=usbhid 2.
