However, one conclusion is here.
If you want to put it only into userspace (without even patching option
driver to support this device), then udev scripts must handle if option
driver is already loaded or not and eventually load it and write new VID/PID
to "new_id".
If this whole handling is ok according to you, then I don't mind.
But as far as there exists other VIDs/PIDs in option driver, it would be
nice to put also this one there and than the only thing which will have to
be done by udev script is to eject the device.
I agree, the IDs should be added to the option driver. That is a
small, self-contained, unobjectionable patch. When it is added, the
user won't need to do anything other than run the eject or modeswitch
programs.
There is really no argument about the eventual adding of IDs to the
modem drivers. The "new_id" method is mainly an instant help for
hitherto unknown devices.
