USB_ModeSwitch

This week I upgraded my systems from Suse 13.1 to 13.2. So far so good.

But, none of my huawei-modems works anymore.

The switch from version 1.2.5 to 2.1.1 and your decision to make only one rule for all huawei-modems ends for me in a catastrophe.

From where should I start again?

Reconstructing the old rules?

Testing everything again? What would it change?

zte and alcatel devices switch, so I think usb_modeswitch works in general.

Can somebody confirm the problems, at least with the E398 (Telekom / Vodafone)?
Maybe I have I very bad day, for the case it is a nightmare, please wake me up.

PS:

Version 2.1.1 of the binary

and the hint in data

Works with usb_modeswitch versions >= 2.2.0 (introduction of HuaweiNewMode)

could be the problem,

I will clarify it, sorry for panic.

Does the Huawei rule trigger? Do you get a log?

It triggers now, at least for three modems.

I have to test the other again. This takes a while.
But please leave the message here - for opensuse 13.2 users, they should update the packages. Packages are already available, but not in update-repository.
