on my slackware11 the huawei e220 device is detected as mass storage device.. i found a way to prevent the kernel from this by adding it to the unusual_devs.h
the diff to 2.6.18.1: 1274,1284d1273 < /* This prevents the kernel from detecting the Huawei-E220 USB-UMTS-Modem as mass storage device. < The storage-device is nothing else than a virtual cd-drive with the windows drivers. < modprobe usbserial usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1003 will bringup the modem-device < <johann.wilhelm(at)student.tugraz.at> < */ < UNUSUAL_DEV( 0x12d1, 0x1003, 0x0000, 0xffff, < "HUAWEI", < "E220 USB-UMTS Install", < US_SC_DEVICE, US_PR_DEVICE, NULL, < US_FL_IGNORE_DEVICE), < interesting part of cat /proc/bus/usb/devices: T: Bus=03 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=01 Cnt=01 Dev#= 5 Spd=12 MxCh= 0 D: Ver= 1.10 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS=64 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor=12d1 ProdID=1003 Rev= 0.00 S: Manufacturer=HUAWEI Technologies S: Product=HUAWEI Mobile C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=a0 MxPwr=500mA I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=08(stor.)
