Package: usb-modeswitch Version: 1.1.7-1~bpo60+1 Severity: normal usb-modeswitch no longer detects devices when the device is already plugged in at boot time. When the device is plugged later, into an already running system, everything works as expected. With version 1.1.4 from Squeeze, everything works fine in both cases.
The device in question is a Huawei E1750. It is quasi-permanently plugged into my gateway router as a fallback in case my main ISP connection goes down, but I can reproduce this issue with my desktop machine too. I've listed the devices as the (may) appear 1) when plugged in at reboot and 2) when plugged in later. With version 1.1.7, setting EnableLogging=1 results in log files being written _only_ in case 2) -- could it be that usb-modeswitch never gets called? I haven't checked this with version 1.1.4, as everything works fine there. Regards, Christian (Since the backport was produced by the Maintainer, I assume he's OK with a bug report for it) 1.1.4-2, both when plugged in at a boot, and plugged in later ======= $ ls -l /dev/gsmmodem lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Jun 6 00:35 /dev/gsmmodem -> ttyUSB0 $ ls -l /dev/ttyUSB* crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 0 Jun 6 00:35 /dev/ttyUSB0 crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 1 Jun 6 00:35 /dev/ttyUSB1 crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 2 Jun 6 00:35 /dev/ttyUSB2 1.1.7-1~bpo60+1, when plugged in at boot =============== $ ls -l /dev/gsmmodem ls: cannot access /dev/gsmmodem: No such file or directory $ ls -l /dev/ttyUSB* ls: cannot access /dev/ttyUSB*: No such file or directory 1.1.7-1~bpo60+1, when plugged in later =============== $ ls -l /dev/gsmmodem ls: cannot access /dev/gsmmodem: No such file or directory $ ls -l /dev/ttyUSB* crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 0 Jun 6 00:41 /dev/ttyUSB0 crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 1 Jun 6 00:41 /dev/ttyUSB1 crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 2 Jun 6 00:41 /dev/ttyUSB2 -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages usb-modeswitch depends on: ii dpkg 1.15.8.10 Debian package management system ii libc6 2.11.2-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.12-16 userspace USB programming library ii tcl 8.4.16-2 The Tool Command Language (default ii tcl8.4 [tclsh] 8.4.19-4 Tcl (the Tool Command Language) v8 ii tcl8.5 [tclsh] 8.5.8-2 Tcl (the Tool Command Language) v8 ii usb-modeswitch-data 20110227-2~bpo60+1 mode switching data for usb-modesw usb-modeswitch recommends no packages.
