The kernel driver has this responsibility. Could you provide the output of 'lsusb -v' both before eject *and* after eject? That would allow me to better add this support to the kernel. Sierra devices already do this transparently, and so should the drivers for Novatel, Option/hso, and other devices. Just need to write some small patches for it. Thanks!
