During connection the system changing the usb modem id between "/dev/ttyACM0" and "/dev/ttyACM1" without any reason even i ddin't attach any usb device. this is the /var/log/messages:

Why not make ACM1 a symlink to ACM0 or vice-versa?

shams · 01-30-2012, 09:08 AM

thanks for the reply, i open the /dev and didn't find the ttyACM1, there is only ttyACM0, how i can create /dev/ttyACM1 in /dev/ directory to link.

Quote:

cd /dev
sudo ln -s ACM0 ACM1

That should do it.

shams · 02-09-2012, 11:16 AM

I run the above command and created the link, but ttyACM1 disappear after reboot, when i disconnect the usb modem cable from the port the /dev/ttyACM0 disappearing as well and after reconnect it come again. so i should make the links after every system boot.

look in /etc/udev/rules.d and see if there is a persistent.net or persistent.usb file or something similar that can be edited, it may be pointing to the wrong device.

shams · 02-09-2012, 08:02 PM

Thanks for reply, there is no any rules for the usb in the /etc/udev/rules.d.

business_kid · 02-10-2012, 02:28 AM

The behaviour you describe is correct.

/dev is mounted on some temporary system, and vanishes every time. Udev makes /dev/acm0 when it existys, and removes it when it doesn't exist. You don't really want your pc to talk to the modem while it's not there, do you? find ACM0 (in /lib/udev/ruled.d or somewhere your distro felt like putting it) and ls -l it, it will have a major and a minor number

<type>perms user group ACM0 x y

where y is the minor number. Add 1 to the minor and you can add ACM1

Thanks for the reply, i check the /lib/udev/rules.d but didn't find any rules for ACM0 or ACM1.

If you travel to /etc/modprobe.d/ you can set them up with a postinstall command

Alias dodgy_modem somemod
postinstall somemod mknod [options] && mknod [options]
