- USB mode switcher.
- Used to switch mode on multiple-function devices
+ Some models of some USB devices such as modems and Wifi adapters
+ power-up in mass storage mode to provide access to drivers for the
+ device's application mode. USB_ModeSwitch changes the mode of such
+ devices from the initial power-up mode to the application mode.
+ Specific configuration data for each device model is required.
+
+ usb_modeswitch can be used with package usb_modeswitch_data and udev
+ for automatic mode switching when devices are connected.
+
+ For more information Internet search for "Virtual CD-ROM switching
+ utility".
