The long time to switch when running usb-modeswitch manually is likely also caused by clashes with communication by the storage driver. 0bda:a192 This USB Id is not yet supported by usb-modeswitch and it probably has a different method than ejecting the virtual CD drive, the failure to switch it when manually running usb-modeswitch is an indication of that. If you are a representative of Realtek or if you know how to switch the device then contact the usb-modeswitch maintainer (Joshua Dietze) and ask him to add switch support for it. thanks Lars
