Hi Phil,
Thank you for your reply.
We've read all your mails and they're really great help to us.

In fact, We got info about the path -- huaweiAktBbo.out month ago.We have
tested
it and it's OK for E220 to make both CD-ROM and serial devices available.We've
checked the souce code of that software and noticed that it uses the same
method
as Windows OS to invoke the serial devices -- using "SET_FEATURE".When E220
receives the "SET_FEATURE" command, it will be switched and the serial devices
will show up.So we confirm that it's the best way to accomplish the task so far
as we know and please remove Johann's patch.
Accoding to Rui's mail, I've tried a "99-huawei.rules" file on Fedora Core 6
(kernel 2.6.18) ,the content of "99-huawei.rules" is:
BUS="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}="12d1", SYSFS{idProduct}="1003",
SYSFS{bNumInterfaces}=" 1", RUN+="/usr/local/bin/huaweiAktBbo-i386.out "
but it didn't work very well -- the first time I pluged E220 in, it was not
switched, I ran huaweiAktBbo.out and everything was OK . After that, I unpluged
E220, and repluged it, it was also OK. But if reboot, I must run
huaweiAktBbo.out
again.As we know little about udev, could you kindly tell us if there's any
fault in "99-huawei.rules"?
And how to correct it?
best wishes to you all
Linlei

Johann,
Thanks for forwarding this on to us.
Huawei folks,
The patch was originally accepted (on December 2006) because it was the only
way to get the modem side of the device to work.
See the first 4 emails in this thread:
http://marc.info/?t=116387161600001&r=1&w=2
Then, in March, Rui Santos wrote to say this patch should be removed noting
that you can use *both* parts of the device with the following software:
http://www.kanoistika.sk/bobovsky/archiv/umts/
I responded back saying I was OK removing it but I was hoping to get
confirmation from someone that the specified method worked _prior_ to
removing the patch.
See the last 2 emails in the above thread. I emailed Johann and asked him to
test Rui's solution before I removed the patch.
That said, I'm happy to remove it if you can confirm that the software
referenced above does in fact work in linux to allow a user to access both
parts of the device, or if you as the manufacture have some other way for
linux users to access the modem half of the device.

Indeed.

Greg is indeed the USB maintainer, Matthew Dharm is the USB-Storage
maintainer, and I'm the maintainer for unusual_devs.h.
I hope that helps.
