Description.
Installed usb_modeswitch and it doesn't work. udev has his rules correctly configured to switch from ZeroCD Huawei E3131 but it doesn't, although it works if usb_modeswitch is called automatically from command line. More then one user reported that uninstalling VB it start to work and that usb_modeswitch started having problem since Virtualbox was updated. Additional info: Virtualbox 4.3.6-2 x86_64 (at least: I never tried with older versions or different architecture) Other additional Info here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=175443 http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/bb/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1847 |

can you, reinstall virtualbox, remove /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/60-vboxdrv.rules, reboot your computer, and see if your usb device is correctly switched.
See the upstream script which generates 60-vboxdrv.rules when using the official VirtualBox installer:
https://www.virtualbox.org/browser/vbox/trunk/src/VBox/Installer/linux/installer-common.sh
Note the usage of RUN+="command..." — this adds a command to the existing list instead of overwriting the whole list, and replacing RUN="..." with RUN+="..." makes usb_modeswitch work together with VirtualBox.
