Hi udev upstreams !

(please keep me and the Debian bug CC'ed).

I am the Debian maintainer for usb-modeswitch and I got a user reporting th=
at=20
his 3G dongle was not "switched" anymore [0]. After some investigation, I=20
strongly suspect that udev's modem-modeswitch and usb-modeswitch have a=20
conflicting functionality overlap.

=46rom /lib/udev/rules.d/61-mobile-action.rules :

> # modem-modeswitch does not work with these devices, the fake CD-ROM need=
s to=20
be ejected
>=20
> # ZTE MF6xx
> ACTION=3D=3D"add", ENV{ID_CDROM}=3D=3D"1", ENV{ID_VENDOR_ID}=3D=3D"19d2",=
=20
ENV{ID_MODEL_ID}=3D=3D"2000", RUN+=3D"/usr/bin/eject %k"

=46rom /lib/udev/rules.d/40-usb_modeswitch.rules :

> # ZTE devices
> ATTRS{idVendor}=3D=3D"19d2", ATTRS{idProduct}=3D=3D"2000", RUN+=3D"usb_mo=
deswitch=20
'%b/%k'"

It seems (to me) that those lines should be removed from udev (as usb-modes=
witch=20
provides a generic switching facility for more than "just" 19d2:2000.

What is your opinion thereabout ?

Thanks in advance and best regards,=20

OdyX
