First umount the device, then run dmesg | tail -20. In the dmesg output you may see some sort of indication that there’s a new device, and then you’ll need to google for the module to load via modprobe if it’s supported. I would expect the USB ID to change, but the Linux USB ModeSwitch site (see above) will have better info.

Can you please describe the “mount/umount” dance a little more, as I would like to get a better feel for what you saw to begin with? I currently have a device that does not have usb_modeswitch support, and to which I cannot easily add it, and I’d like to be able to use the modem manually.

I have mounted the “CD-ROM” at /mnt/cdrom and cansee the files, but nothing changes in lsusb when I umount /dev/sr0.

Many thanks,

Tom
