- This behavior can happen because some USB wifi adapters have a built-in storage functionality that appears as a USB drive when connected to the computer.
- To switch between wifi and drive mode, you can use the `usb_modeswitch` command. This command is used to switch USB devices like modems, webcams, and wifi adapters between modes.
- First, you need to install the `usb_modeswitch` package if it's not already installed on your Linux system. You can do this by running the following command:
- ```
- sudo apt-get install usb-modeswitch
- ```
- Once the package is installed, you can use the `usb_modeswitch` command to switch your USB wifi adapter from storage mode to wifi mode. For example, you can use the following command to switch the adapter with the ID `1234:5678` to wifi mode:
- ```
- sudo usb_modeswitch -v 1234 -p 5678
- ```
- After running this command, your USB wifi adapter should switch to wifi mode and be recognized as a wifi card instead of a USB drive.
