USB mode switcher.
Used to switch mode on multiple-function devices
Some models of some USB devices such as modems and Wifi
adapters power-up in mass storage mode to provide access to
drivers for the device's application mode. usb_modeswitch
changes the mode of such devices from the initial power-up
mode to the application mode. Specific configuration data
for each device model is required.
usb_modeswitch can be used with the usb_modeswitch_data
package and udev for automatic mode switching when devices
are connected.
For more information search the Internet for "Virtual CD-ROM
switching utility".
