Description Alexey Skobkin 2017-06-25 01:33:42 UTC

There is new version of usb_modeswitch since January (and February for data-package) but there is no ebuild in the Portage tree.
New version (and data package) supports many new USB modems and other hardware. It would be nice if it appear in packages.

Please note that /lib/udev/usb_modeswitch is broken on Gentoo since usb_modeswitch-2.4.0 !

Here's what happens:

systemd-udevd[24124]: starting 'usb_modeswitch '/3-2''
systemd-udevd[24109]: 'usb_modeswitch '/3-2''(err) 'basename: missing operand'
systemd-udevd[24109]: 'usb_modeswitch '/3-2''(err) 'Try 'basename --help' for more information.'
systemd-udevd[24109]: 'usb_modeswitch '/3-2''(err) '/lib/udev/usb_modeswitch: line 68: [: =: unary operator expected'
systemd-udevd[24109]: Process 'usb_modeswitch '/3-2'' succeeded.

Reason is that 'readlink /sbin/init' fails because it is not a symlink on Gentoo.

Here's a fix that worksforme [tm]:
