Slackware 14.2slackware-14.2

Thu Jun 30 20:26:57 UTC 2016
Slackware 14.2 x86_64 stable is released!

The long development cycle (the Linux community has lately been living in
"interesting times", as they say) is finally behind us, and we're proud to
announce the release of Slackware 14.2.  The new release brings many updates
and modern tools, has switched from udev to eudev (no systemd), and adds
well over a hundred new packages to the system.  Thanks to the team, the
upstream developers, the dedicated Slackware community, and everyone else
who pitched in to help make this release a reality.

The ISOs are off to be replicated, a 6 CD-ROM 32-bit set and a dual-sided
32-bit/64-bit x86/x86_64 DVD.  Please consider supporting the Slackware
project by picking up a copy from store.slackware.com.  We're taking
pre-orders now, and offer a discount if you sign up for a subscription.

Have fun!  :-)

-# For custom settings:
-# Numbers can be decimal or hexadecimal, MessageStrings MUST be
-# hexadecimal without prepended "0x". Digits 9-16 in the known
-# MessageStrings are arbitrary; I set them to "12345678"
-
-# What it all means (short command line flags appended):
-#
-#
-# * DefaultVendor            -v <hex number>
-# * DefaultProduct           -p <hex number>
-#
-# This is the ID the USB device shows after having been plugged in.
-# The program needs this, either on the command line or in the config
-# file; if not found -> no action.
-#
-#
-# * TargetVendor             -V <hex number>
-# * TargetProduct            -P <hex number>
-#
-# These are the IDs of the USB device after successful mode switching.
-# They are optional, but I recommend to provide them for better analysis.
-# You definitely need them if you enable CheckSuccess (see below)
-#
-#
-# * TargetProductList        (file only) <comma separated hex strings>
-#
-# Like TargetProduct, but more than one possibility. Only used in automated
-# config files (in /etc/usb_modeswitch.d).
-#
-#
-# * TargetClass              -C <hex number>
-#
-# Some weird devices don't change IDs. They only switch the device class.
-# If the device has the target class -> no action (and vice versa)
-#
-#
-# * MessageEndpoint          -m <hex number>
-#
-# A kind of address inside the interface to which the "message"
-# (the sequence that does the actual switching) is directed.
-# Obsolete since version 0.9.7, only useful for testing
-#
-#
-# * MessageContent           -M <hex string>
-#
-# A hex string containing the "message" sequence; it will be
-# sent as a USB bulk transfer
-#
-#
-# * MessageContent2, ...3    -2/-3 <hex string>
-#
-# Additional "messages". Use with "NeedResponse"!
-#
-#
-# * ReleaseDelay             -w <milliseconds>
-#
-# Waiting time after message transfers. Helps with some sensitive devices
-# that don't want any traffic after the mode switch initialisation
-#
-#
-# * ResponseEndpoint         -r <hex number>
-# * NeedResponse <0/1>       -n
-#
-# Some devices were reported to require receiving the response of the
-# bulk transfer to do the switching properly. Usually not needed.
-# Starting from version 1.0.0 the ResponseEndpoint is autodetected
-# if not given
-#
-#
-# * DetachStorageOnly <0/1>  -d
-#
-# Some early devices just needed to be detached from the usb-storage
-# driver to initiate the mode switching. Now paractically obsolete for
-# switching, but still comes handy sometimes
-#
-#
-# * HuaweiMode <0/1>         -H
-#
-# Some early Huawei devices can be switched by a special control
-# message. Don't use with recent devices
-#
-#
-# * SonyMode <0/1>           -O
-#
-# Some Sony-Ericsson devices can be switched by a special control
-# message. May take a long time (20+ seconds).
-#
-#
-# * SierraMode <0/1>         -S
-# * KobilMode <0/1>          -T
-# * GCTMode <0/1>            -G

-# * BlackberryMode <0/1>     -Z
-# * CiscoMode <0/1>          -L
-#
-#
-# Flags to support devices that need special control messages.
-# The names are referring to the respective manufacturers.
-#
-#
-# * ResetUSB <0/1>           -R
-#
-# Few devices or systems need a rougher treatment. If the switching seems
-# to do something but your system does not reflect it, try this somewhat
-# brutal method to do a reset after switching.
-# Mind that if your device switched OK before, this may set it back to
-# storage mode ...
-#
-#
-# * Interface                -i <hex number>
-# * Configuration            -u <hex number>
-# * AltSetting               -a <hex number>
-#
-# More USB parameter to help with tricky devices and for doing lots
-# of cruel experiments ...
-#
-## Note:
-## AltSetting/Configuration changes and ResetUSB are executed after all
-## other steps and can be combined or used on their own (e.g. a reset
-## might have the same effect as a manual replug)
-#
-#
-# * InquireDevice <0|1>      -I (disables inquiry)
-#
-# The standard since 1.0.0 is to do a SCSI inquiry on the default device
-# before other actions. This might be a future way to identify a device
-# without ambiguities. If it causes trouble with your device, just disable.
-#
-#
-# * CheckSuccess             -s <number>
-#
-# Check continuously if the switch succeeded for max <number> seconds.
-# First, an interface access test: most devices vanish after
-# switching and can't be accessed anymore.
-# Second, a recount of target devices: one more than at the initial
-# count, at the same bus with a higher device number -> device
-# switched fine.
-# It's safe to give a higher value than needed; checking stops as
-# soon as the target device is found
-#
-#
-# * NoDriverLoading <0|1>    (no command line parameter)
-#
-# The binary tells the wrapper script NOT to check for and initiate
-# binding of the serial driver after switching.
-# Mostly useful for non-modem devices.
-#
-#
-# * WaitBefore <seconds>     (no command line parameter)
-#
-# Waiting time before taking any action. Helps with some sensitive setups.
-#
-#
-# * NoMBIMCheck <0|1>        (no command line parameter)
-#
-# Disable the check for new MBIM standard devices, which is always done
-# by default.
-#
-#
-#
-# -> All other entries in config files are just ignored <-
-
-# Additional command line flags:
-#
-# Verbose output             -W
-# No output at all           -q
-# Use config file            -c <file>
-# Use stdin for long config  -t
-# Give long config as string -f <multiline string using config file syntax>
-# Give bus number for ID'ing -b
-# Give dev number for ID'ing -g
