It turns out that the remote-wakeup enable _is_ the mode-switch
command. Don't ask me why the manufacturer decided to use an
pre-existing command to tell the device to switch modes.

Anyway, it's clear from the logs that the mode switch worked in both
cases. Initially the device shows only one interface, and after the
mode switch it shows four.
