Thanks, but unfortunately it doesn't work. I changed
/etc/usb_modeswitch.conf, but this seems to have changed to
/etc/usb_modeswitch.d/19d2:0103 which seems to be the preferred format
for the usb_modeswitch version shipped with Ubuntu 10.04. When I plug
in the model I never get the /dev/ttyUSB* file, and when I check lsmod
I see that usb_storage gets activated instead of usbserial, even
though the 60-local.rules script is supposed to block this. I have
restarted the udev system and even rebooted the computer. Possibly my
device is different from the one described in Yuki's page, but lsusb
gives me:
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 19d2:0103 ONDA Communication S.p.A.

Any ideas?
