Hello,

I am setting up a high-performance workstation centered around a Xeon 32 Core 2.6GHz-11.2GT-UPI processor, running a modern Linux distribution. The system itself is stable, but I am encountering persistent issues with certain USB devices, specifically a Huawei LTE modem (model E3372) and a multi-port storage enclosure.

The devices are either not recognized at all or are detected as the wrong class (e.g., the modem is seen as a CD-ROM for driver installation).

I have tried the standard lsusb and usb-devices commands, and the hardware is visible on the bus, but it's not switching to the correct mode.

My question is twofold:

Given the server-grade nature of the Xeon platform and its chipset, are there any known peculiarities or requirements for USB controller initialization that might interfere with the mode-switching process that usb_modeswitch handles?

Has anyone successfully used usb_modeswitch on similar high-core-count Xeon systems (like the 32-core 2.6GHz variant)? I want to rule out any platform-specific conflicts before diving deeper into the device-specific rules.

Any guidance or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your work on this essential tool.
