Package: usb-modeswitch Version: 2.2.0+repack0-2 According to the comments in /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf, setting EnableLogging=1 should make i produce a logfile in /var/log. When I invoke usb_modeswitch it does work (switches mode of my 3G dongle) but no logfile is created in /var/log.
This is how I invoke it: usb_modeswitch --default-vendor=0x12d1 --default-product=0x1446 -J -Q This is the config file: # cat /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf # Configuration for the usb_modeswitch package, a mode switching tool for # USB devices providing multiple states or modes # # Evaluated by the wrapper script /usr/sbin/usb_modeswitch_dispatcher # # To enable an option, set it to "1", "yes" or "true" (case doesn't matter) # Everything else counts as "disable" # Disable automatic mode switching globally (e.g. to access the original # install storage) DisableSwitching=0 # Enable logging (results in a extensive report file in /var/log, named # "usb_modeswitch_<interface-name>" and probably others EnableLogging=1 # Optional increase of "delay_use" for the usb-storage driver; there are hints # that a recent kernel default change to 1 sec. may lead to problems, particu- # larly with USB 3.0 ports. Set this to at least 3 (seconds) in that case. # Does nothing if the current system value is same or higher #SetStorageDelay=4
