hi radek,
I modified the last line in "on" script like:
#modprobe g_file_storage file=${DEV_NAME} stall=0
modprobe g_file_storage file=${DEV_NAME} stall=0 removable=y

this because otherwise (at least with a specific single partition
scenario) the usb drive is not usable with windows.
with linux and my home tv-set and home theater is always accessible,
with or without the "removable=y" directive.
this change just add the compatibility with windows OS (tested on winXP).

btw, both now and before, I get kernel panic changing usb mode back
and forth storage/ethernet more than twice... :(
I'm not able to tell more on this issue because on reboot do not see
anything interesting inside logs :S

regards
