Does this flash-drive mode have a real purpose? For instance, can people upload new firmware by writing it to the flash drive? I can't imagine that the manufacturer would have implemented the dual-mode functionality for no reason at all. > In Linux, multi-state devices are recognized as storage devices > on startup because the driver has not yet been loaded. > > As a result, the AC650 is identified as a DISK device at boot, > preventing the use of its WLAN mode.

Are you sure that the problem can't be solved by a userspace helper, such as the usbmodeswitch program?

No need for unplugging/replugging. thanks Lars

Due to the dual-mode functionality of the Realtek USB wireless adapter AC650, it initially presents itself as a flash drive before the driver is installed. In Linux, multi-state devices are recognized as storage devices on startup because the driver has not yet been loaded. As a result, the AC650 is identified as a DISK device at boot, preventing the use of its WLAN mode. The issue can only be resolved by unplugging and replugging the adapter.
