Toubleshooting AnyDATA ADU-510L from Romtelecom (Romania)

I'm writing this post to put all infos gathered so far about trying to switch the AnyDATA to work as a modem on Debian unstable. I'm using the following software:

kernel: 2.6.31 udev: 146-6 usb_modeswitch: 1.0.5-1

I disabled all udev magic which tries to switch the device, it didn't work. Here is what I get in the logs when plugging the device: Nov 8 10:52:05 think kernel: [ 7762.980127] usb 5-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 18 Nov 8 10:52:06 think kernel: [ 7763.140213] usb 5-2: New USB device found, idVendor=05c6, idProduct=1000 Nov 8 10:52:06 think kernel: [ 7763.140223] usb 5-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 Nov 8 10:52:06 think kernel: [ 7763.140230] usb 5-2: Product: USB MMC Storage Nov 8 10:52:06 think kernel: [ 7763.140235] usb 5-2: Manufacturer: AnyDATA Corporation Nov 8 10:52:06 think kernel: [ 7763.140241] usb 5-2: SerialNumber: 000000000002 Nov 8 10:52:06 think kernel: [ 7763.140478] usb 5-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice Nov 8 10:52:06 think kernel: [ 7763.147283] scsi21 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Trying to switch the device: Reading config file: /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf * usb_modeswitch: handle USB devices with multiple modes * Version 1.0.5 (C) Josua Dietze 2009 * Based on libusb 0.1.12 DefaultVendor= 0x05c6 DefaultProduct= 0x1000 TargetVendor= 0x16d5 TargetProduct= 0x6502 TargetClass= not set DetachStorageOnly=0 HuaweiMode=0 SierraMode=0 SonyMode=0 MessageEndpoint= not set MessageContent="5553424312345678000000000000061b000000020000000000000000000000" NeedResponse=0 ResponseEndpoint= not set Interface=0x00 InquireDevice enabled (default) Success check disabled usb_set_debug: Setting debugging level to 15 (on) usb_os_find_busses: Found 003 usb_os_find_busses: Found 005 usb_os_find_busses: Found 002 usb_os_find_busses: Found 001 usb_os_find_busses: Found 004 usb_os_find_busses: Found 007 usb_os_find_busses: Found 006 usb_os_find_devices: Found 004 on 003 skipped 1 class/vendor specific interface descriptors usb_os_find_devices: Found 003 on 003 usb_os_find_devices: Found 001 on 003 error obtaining child information: Inappropriate ioctl for device error obtaining child information: Inappropriate ioctl for device usb_os_find_devices: Found 019 on 005 usb_os_find_devices: Found 001 on 005 error obtaining child information: Inappropriate ioctl for device usb_os_find_devices: Found 002 on 002 skipping descriptor 0xB skipped 1 class/vendor specific endpoint descriptors skipped 5 class/vendor specific interface descriptors skipping descriptor 0x25 skipped 1 class/vendor specific endpoint descriptors skipped 9 class/vendor specific interface descriptors usb_os_find_devices: Found 001 on 002 error obtaining child information: Inappropriate ioctl for device usb_os_find_devices: Found 001 on 001 usb_os_find_devices: Found 001 on 004 usb_os_find_devices: Found 001 on 007 usb_os_find_devices: Found 001 on 006 Looking for target devices ...
