   iSerialNumber = 0x0003  <00E04CB82101>
   bNumConfigurations = 0x0001


1) is this idProduct = 0xb711 the ID I should try to add somewhere?
2) is there a way to avoid manual eject every time I try to use this 
dongle? (I tried usbconfig -d ugen1.4 add_quirk UQ_MSC_IGNORE with no luck)

Kind regards
