If Greg Kroah rules that we should promote usb_modeswitch, then fine, let's do that, and drop all Huawei nonsense from kernel. But I haven't heard anything like that so far. In fact, the party line was exactly the opposite: eradicate usb_modeswitch. -- Pete -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
