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".
