I've had a request from a Huawei engineer (Franko Fang) to remove the rule for their device. It doesn't matter if the device appears to work correctly; it's completely the wrong place for eject of non-Option devices and completely the wrong command sent to the device if it's not manufactured by Option NV. All further modem eject stuff should really handled by usb_modeswitch, not by modem-modeswitch. I'll follow up with a patch for the rules file saying that only Option devices should be added, and that usb_modeswitch is really the right place for this stuff. Thanks! Dan
