Changelog

usb-modeswitch (1.1.9-1ubuntu3) oneiric; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/dispatcher-c-rewrite.patch: fix crash in failing to match
    devices with config lists before SCSI attributes are checked.
    (LP: #824147)
  * debian/patches/03_use_udev_specifics.patch: avoid failing if
    usb_modeswitch gets called with --symlink in udev by removing the tclsh
    call; also redirect all output from these calls to /dev/null (we don't
    need it anyway).

usb-modeswitch: mode switching tool for controlling "flip flop" USB devices

 Several new USB devices have their proprietary Windows drivers onboard,
 especially WAN dongles. When plugged in for the first time, they act
 like a flash storage and start installing the driver from there. If
 the driver is already installed, the storage device vanishes and
 a new device, such as an USB modem, shows up. This is called the
 "ZeroCD" feature.
 .
 On Debian, this is not needed, since the driver is included as a
 Linux kernel module, such as "usbserial". However, the device still
 shows up as "usb-storage" by default. usb-modeswitch solves that
 issue by sending the command which actually performs the switching
 of the device from "usb-storage" to "usbserial".
 .
 This package contains the binaries and the brother scripts.
