Subject: modem mode switching

Hi,

I wonder why there are two different userspace utilities for mode
switching on HSDPA modems. modem-modeswitch is shipped with udev,
usb_modeswitch is another project which is maintained as well.

Do they diverge in some point? If not, are there any plan to merge them
together? I'm not sure but relevant kernel drivers for those modems
seems to also have some sort of mode switching. When I plug my Huawei
device which isn't listed in neither udev rules for the userspace, it
first gets probed as an unknown 0xffffffff device and then it gets
reconnected and probbed as a serial modem. If kernel-space is able to
handle those kind of quirks, why the user space mode switching tools exist?

Thanks,
Ozan
