Thanks for testing. Dan Williams says
"2) usb_modeswitch - the common tool to handle the fake CD case.
However, I've found it is *completely* unsuited to distro usage, it's
really meant for the user to configure exactly the modem they want to
eject. First, it isn't out-of-the-box-ready, you need to (a) edit a
config file and uncomment your modem, and (b) write the udev rules
yourself. It doesn't just look for all the modems that it can switch
and then switch all of them, it requires being told explicitly about
every modem to switch. Ugh.
3) modem-modeswitch - my attempt to make stuff Just Work, but I never
had time to really handle it. I'd be happy to kill modem-modeswitch if
usb_modeswitch would get easier to package for distributions.
So yeah, I'm happy with the change, and (2) and (3) can co-exist on the
same system. But I think since I have less attention to pay to
modem-modeswitch than people have to give usb_modeswitch, we probably
want to fix usb_modeswitch and just use that in the shiny distant
future.
So this cannot be fixed out of the box in udev, I'm afraid.
