Hi all,

about usb-modeswitch:
	* The -1 version actually in NEW does effectively not contain any udev rules.
	* I prepared a -2 version [0] which builds a udev rules file from the
	  configuration file at build time.
	* This .rules files is really a simple linear file, which lists all the
	  possibilities.
	* From what I have tested with my device, it works. :)

about ozerocdoff:
	* From what I have seen, it is particular to the "Option" devices, where
	  usb_modeswitch is more generic (this is not a comment on the intrinsinc
	  quality).
	* The provided .rules is much smarter.

I think that both projects should coexist if they have non-overlapping uses.

Best regards,

OdyX
