USB_ModeSwitch

Hello,

I would know if the WaitBefore variable is a setting depending on the system or the dongle itself,
I've got a lot of switch problem with speedup branded dongles which are resolved by waiting some time (about 5 or 10 seconds)
before switching.

I've reproduced these issues with ubuntu, meego and fedora, so I was wondering if there is a need to add the WaitBefore in the
usb_modeswitch-data or if it should be configured manually on each systems.

Problematic dongles are SU-9300U (2020:f00e), SU-9800U (1c9e:9800) and SU-8000U (2020:f00e).

Thanks,
Nico

The WaitBefore parameter was used to tackle very specific problems so far, it was not used in one of the default config files.

If there are reproduceable issues with a device, we can add the parameter permanently to its configuration, of course.

Did you test on different machines as well?

Hi,

sorry for the delay, it seems that the latest update (1.2.3) has fixed some problems with these dongles.

However there is still an issue with 2020:f00e devices, with my "slower" dongle (speedup SU-8000) it require a WaitBefore set to 2 to be functionnal.
it has been tested on a laptop with ubuntu and on a netbook with meego and the behaviour is the same.

Do you need more information about this problem? I can give you logs or maybe check on other machine?

Thanks,
nico

No more information needed, thank you. Two different systems are sufficient for confirmation. I will add the value to the config file.

The usage on portable or embedded computers is very typical, so your test parcours has the right focus. On the other hand, two seconds is a delay that will hardly be noticed, even if there were any other systems that wouldn't really need the wait.

Thanks for testing and reporting!
