Martin Pitt (pitti) wrote : Question about your reversion of the udev Huawei modem rule

Hey Dan,

in [1] you reverted a previous commit [2] to fix the Huawei E1550 GSM
modem in udev (using modem-modeswitch) with the rationale that "other
manufacturers have completely different methods for killing their fake
driver CD". However, the rule was tested on that actual hardware, and
it worked fine.

I'm interested in why this rule was bad, and what should be done
instead?

Thanks,

Martin
