[snip] I think you forgot to consider the case where both the driver and the mode switch code need an update to handle a new device. This is relevant in the case where a new device shows up that needs mode-switching, but even after switching has an ID that the current driver doesn't know about. It's not clear to me which case typically happens though. I suppose that often enough it'd be possible to have a device that shows up with a special driver USB ID, and then after you eject it comes up again with a regular USB ID that other devices use too. Input from people who have such switching devices could be helpful. johannes
