Hi Julien,
/etc/usb_modeswitch.setup is not provided on purpose and here's why :
* /e/usb_modeswitch.setup is a "one-file" version of what usb-modeswitch-data
provides in /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/
* It's existence is mainly historical, back in the days when usb-modeswitch
was shipped with the switching commands.
* The switching commands are now provided by usb-modeswitch-data, which can
happen to be more up2date than usb-modeswitch itself (that's the point of
the split), there is little meaning to provide usb-modeswitch's setup.
* the usb-modeswitch + usb-modeswitch-data combination is supposedly working
"out-of-the-box", thanks to udev rules and wrappers.
So you should really not need /etc/usb_modeswitch.setup at all: either your
device's commands is shipped by usb-modeswitch-data in /etc/usb_modeswitch.d
and
it should "just work" when plugged in; or it isn't and to get it, you should
create one single entry in /etc/usb_modeswitch.d and test it with
usb_modeswitch, manually.
Is that answer (and the +wontfix tag) OK with you ? I am of course open to
discussion.
Cheers,
OdyX
