Unfortunately, the device ID of the (unswitched) device is already
listed in zd1211, so the easy way was to add the eject there. The
zd1211rw will be loaded anyway, it will just barf that it cannot find
the correct endpoint:

usb 1-1: zd1211rw: Could not find bulk out endpoint

For the long run, a better solution would be nice, yes.

Thanks,
