I've recently purchased an AVM Fritz!WLAN AC 860 adapter (Mediatek mt7662u
chipset) and set out to get it running on Tumbleweed 20200501 today.

These Fritz!WLAN adapters default to presenting as a CD-ROM drive with the id
057c:62ff if not signalled otherwise. Current Tumbleweed already brings with it
the 057c:62ff entry in /usr/share/usb_modeswitch which contains the message
needed for the AVM adapter to switch to "normal mode" (057c:8503). The entry
for this model, however is missing from TargetProductList, resulting in the
adapter being stuck in CD-ROM mode. Manually adding 8503 to TargetProductList
then does the trick.

I'm not sure if Bugzilla is the right platform for this request but could the
line TargetProductList="8501,8502,8602" please be amended to
TargetProductList="8501,8502,8503,8602" in /usr/share/usb_modeswitch?

Best regards,
Paul

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load the mt76x2u module: sudo modprobe mt76x2u
2. Call usb_modeswitch for the device id of the virtual AVM CD-ROM: sudo
usb_modeswitch -v 057c -p 62ff
3. Look at dmesg and iwconfig
Actual Results:  
Device stays in CD-ROM mode (057c:62ff)
No interaction possible.
Device not showing up in iwconfig.

Expected Results:  
Device changes to normal operating mode (057c:8503).
The mt76x2u driver detects the device and makes it available for iwconfig and
NetworkManager.
Connecting to Wi-Fi networks is now possible.
