usb-modeswitch-1.1.3-1ark.src.rpm

Description:

Mode switching tool for controlling "flip flop" (multiple device) USB gear.

Several new USB devices (especially high-speed wireless WAN stuff, there seems
to be a chipset from Qualcomm offering that feature) have their MS Windows
drivers onboard; when plugged in for the first time they act like a flash
storage and start installing the driver from there.

After that (and on every consecutive plugging) this driver switches the mode
internally, the storage device vanishes (in most cases), and a new device
(like a USB modem) shows up. The WWAN gear maker Option calls that feature
"ZeroCD (TM)".

This package allows switching the mode in Linux.
