Subject: [PATCH] USB: storage: Ignore driver CD mode for Realtek multi-mode Wi-Fi dongles
Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2025 00:24:15 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250813162415.2630-1-zenmchen@gmail.com> (raw)
Many Realtek USB Wi-Fi dongles released in recent years have two modes:
one is driver CD mode which has Windows driver onboard, another one is
Wi-Fi mode. Add the US_FL_IGNORE_DEVICE quirk for these multi-mode devices.
Otherwise, usb_modeswitch may fail to switch them to Wi-Fi mode.
Currently there are only two USB IDs known to be used by these multi-mode
Wi-Fi dongles: 0bda:1a2b and 0bda:a192.
