Hi,
I am currently using the latest version of Ubuntu (13.04).
usb_modwswitch manages to switch my device as a modem, if my device is already connected before boot. However, it doesn't seem to make the switch when the device is hotplugged.
I have raised a bug on launchpad for the package. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... ug/1178900
I don't face any such issue when Fedora 18 is installed on my system. Am not sure what's happening here.
Help would be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Mehrzad
Re: Device unidentifed while hotplugging
As this is obviously an Ubuntu-specific problem, we can't help from here.
You can still try to uninstall the Ubuntu packages and try the source packages from here. There shouldn't be any conflicts.

Re: Device unidentifed while hotplugging
In order for hot-plug to work under Ubuntu 13.04, and likely other new-ish Linux distros:
1. Create /etc/modprobe.d/usbmodeswitch.conf containing:
# Tell usb-storage to ignore the phone
options usb-storage quirks=<device vendor>:<device id>:i
2. update-initramfs -u
3. To have the change take effect, either reboot or 'rmmod usb_storage'.
I believe this solution is applicable for any device usb-storage interferes with, including most phones.
