However I think it should switch device to modem mode by default, right after plugging it. You still need to execute "eject /dev/sr0", don't you? Maybe you could create such a feature request on kernel's bugzilla?
That depends. Opinions on this change about every week. During even weeks, the "kernel driver makes the device useful" approach is chosen. During odd weeks, the "we need userspace crap like usb_modeswitch to make the device useful" approach is chosen.
No, the kernel developers responsible for this driver, and the usb-storage driver have a very clear approach, that does not change per-week. It is: Existing kernel quirks to automatically handle these types of devices will be left alone in the kernel. Any new tweaks like this, that can be done in userspace, should be done in userspace. The "usb-modeswitch" program is the recommended way to resolve this, and is part of the default udev rules, so perhaps you just need to add your device id to it. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
