Comment (by anonymous):
This is, what I like on Linux development: Once one found a solution to a
problem, someone wants to improve things and f*** it up all over again...
*sigh*.
Why do we need json and fancy webinterfaces on a router os anyway? I
remember times, when a was happy with nvram variables and a small and
simple php-webif. I had less problems by then.
Ok, I won't change the direction...back to the renewed problem:
In http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/recipes/3gdongle?s[]=ma260 I described how
to initialize TP-Link's MA260 stick. I needs some special treatment and a
standard eject never worked for me on this device.
Neither the product nor vendor id's I described in the wiki, are sent over
by usb-mode.json.
BTW: an usbreset does not require the usbreset utility. usb_modeswitch has
a parameter "-R" which is to be combined with -p and -v -b and -g.
The initialisation messages for MA260 (storage mode ids 2357:f000) are:
"5553424312345678000000000000061e000000000000000000000000000000"
"5553424312345678000000000000061b000000020000000000000000000000"
A standard eject won't fully initialize the device, but leave it in a
state in between.
The vendor and product ID for the 3G-mode of dongle should be 2357:9000
after the mode switch.
I am not yet fully familiar with the usb-mode.json, but I'll try to make
guess on how it should work. Please test the file attached, but make a
backup before that.
I'll attach them a patch and full version above, as soon as I figured it
out.
I apologize, that I can test it myself, since my only MA260 is connected
to a router quite a few miles away from my whereabouts.
BTW: an usb reset does not require the presence of the usbreset binary -
alternative ways exist:
* echo 0 > /sys/bus/usb/devices/[enumeration]/authorized" && echo 1 >
/sys/bus/usb/devices/[enumeration]/authorized"
and usb_modeswitch can be invoked with -R -p [prodid] -v [vendid] -b [bus
]-g [device]
please refer to man usb_modeswitch for details.
