jmc Flashing a new Pixel 6a today, I found that I also had to do this command on my Fedora laptop. I would like to recommend a slight different command to do the same thing:
echo '0' | sudo tee -a /sys/bus/usb/drivers_autoprobe
On the subject of USB vendor ID, it looks like this new Pixel 6a has the same vendor ID has my Pixel 7: 18d1.
