--- Begin Message ---Package: usb-modeswitch Version: 1.1.8-1 Severity: normal Hello! I installed usb-modeswitch in order to prevent my USB HSDPA modem to be seen as a storage device. My modem is a Huawei E169, which has apparently the same vendor and product IDs as the Huawei E620: $ lsusb | grep Huawei Bus 006 Device 005: ID 12d1:1001 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E620 USB Modem It seems to me that this device is known to usb-modeswitch-data: $ grep -A 1 E169 /lib/udev/rules.d/40-usb_modeswitch.rules # Huawei E169 ATTRS{idVendor}=="12d1", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1001", RUN+="usb_modeswitch '%b/%k'" Well, if I plug the USB modem into a USB port, I get the following relevant /var/log/syslog lines: kernel: [48971.464031] usb 6-1: new full speed USB device number 2 using uhci_hcd kernel: [48971.626112] usb 6-1: New USB device found, idVendor=12d1, idProduct=1001 kernel: [48971.626115] usb 6-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=1 kernel: [48971.626117] usb 6-1: Product: HUAWEI Mobile kernel: [48971.626119] usb 6-1: Manufacturer: ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ kernel: [48971.626121] usb 6-1: SerialNumber: ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ udevd[28725]: failed to execute '/lib/udev/mtp-probe' 'mtp-probe /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.1/usb6/6-1 6 2': No such file or directory kernel: [48972.175513] usbcore: registered new interface driver uas kernel: [48972.204572] Initializing USB Mass Storage driver... kernel: [48972.207123] scsi4 : usb-storage 6-1:1.0 kernel: [48972.207285] usbcore: registered new interface driver usb-storage kernel: [48972.207287] USB Mass Storage support registered. kernel: [48972.216084] usb 6-1: USB disconnect, device number 2 kernel: [48972.952054] usb 6-1: new full speed USB device number 3 using uhci_hcd kernel: [48973.116093] usb 6-1: New USB device found, idVendor=12d1, idProduct=1001 kernel: [48973.116096] usb 6-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=1 kernel: [48973.116099] usb 6-1: Product: HUAWEI Mobile kernel: [48973.116101] usb 6-1: Manufacturer: ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ kernel: [48973.116103] usb 6-1: SerialNumber: ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ udevd[28744]: failed to execute '/lib/udev/mtp-probe' 'mtp-probe /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.1/usb6/6-1 6 3': No such file or directory kernel: [48973.127105] scsi8 : usb-storage 6-1:1.3 kernel: [48973.166893] usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial kernel: [48973.167822] USB Serial support registered for generic kernel: [48973.168839] usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial_generic kernel: [48973.168842] usbserial: USB Serial Driver core kernel: [48973.194559] USB Serial support registered for GSM modem (1-port) kernel: [48973.195691] option 6-1:1.0: GSM modem (1-port) converter detected kernel: [48973.196452] usb 6-1: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB0 kernel: [48973.196469] option 6-1:1.1: GSM modem (1-port) converter detected kernel: [48973.200295] usb 6-1: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB1 kernel: [48973.200320] option 6-1:1.2: GSM modem (1-port) converter detected kernel: [48973.200572] usb 6-1: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB2 kernel: [48973.201001] usbcore: registered new interface driver option kernel: [48973.201004] option: v0.7.2:USB Driver for GSM modems kernel: [48974.131117] scsi 8:0:0:0: CD-ROM HUAWEI Mass Storage 2.31 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2 kernel: [48974.134133] scsi 8:0:0:1: Direct-Access HUAWEI SD Storage 2.31 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2 kernel: [48974.147102] sr1: scsi-1 drive kernel: [48974.147238] sr 8:0:0:0: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr1 kernel: [48974.147317] sr 8:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 5 kernel: [48974.147460] sd 8:0:0:1: Attached scsi generic sg3 type 0 kernel: [48974.189119] sd 8:0:0:1: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk This seems to mean that the device is seen as both a USB modem and a USB mass storage / CD-ROM device.
