Why can't I modify usb_modeeswitch.conf . I need it to enter my device configuration on Ubuntu 11.10 this also happens in fedora which already had usb_modeswitch installed. It shows up as read-only and I can't edit it in text editor.

Don't use /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf for device configuration.
Create a new file named "<your_vendor_id>:<your_product_id>" in the folder "/etc/usb_modeswitch.d".
Then add a line for your device in "/lib/udev/rules.d/40-usb_modeswitch.rules".
Do all this as "root" or with "sudo".
You can also check if the current data package on this site is more recent than your's; it may support your device already.
