Is someone able to tell me why I'm unable to change any permissions on the device as I've listed in the subject?
No matter what I do, I'm unable to change it from

This I think might be the cause of wvdial not working, since I'm able to get a connection just using /usr/sbin/pppd /dev/ttyS0 115200 debug user <username> connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v '' AT OK ATD08089933001 CONNECT".

Thanks.

How do you recreate a node, is it hard? Funny thing is that it works with kPPP and I've written a script to login and it works with that. It's just wvdial for example (which I wanted to use) and yawmppp dock app, so it's strange.
