one ISP from Portugal wants to add official support for OpenIndiana to their new device based on anyData ADU-520a, so they ask me to check if the device is currently supported, however this is another device with the "ZeroCD(tm)" feature, so when you plug it, defaults to a USB device class 8 (Storage), in place of USB device class 2 (communications device), I had this same problem on my own device some months ago a Huawei E169, but on this one is possible to disable the SD micro card with an AT command, and after that the device works with usbsacm(7D) driver without a problem. As far I understand this kind of devices are currently a pain to work out-of-the-box on OpenIndiana, Linux seems to handle this with something they call usb-mode-switch, so its possible by udev rules switch from class 8 to class 2 device and vice-versa, also another way seems to be by using an USB blacklist, and the storage part of the device is black listed, how can we use in OpenIndiana this kind of devices ? maybe we can implement a way to handle this kind of devices, I really like to check if this anyData ADU-520a works with usbsacm(7D), I also understand that maybe this is more a issue for Illumos guys, but I bet most of them also read this list.
