usb mobile broadband modem.
 
Hi all, i just bought a new usb mobile broadband modem but i can't see it in /dev/ttyUSB* which my old usb modem used to be.dmesg shows it as sdb, but when i eject /dev/sdb which used to work on my older modem, it doesn't create /dev/ttyUSB* . The modem works with NetworkManager on fedora but i don't want to use NetworkManager (if possible), i normally use wvdial.
Any suggestions will be helpful :) ...i've install everything apart from KDE.

My modem is Huawei E353

Thanks.

First, run:

Code:

lsusb
Then use the product and vendor codes to run:

Code:

modprobe usbserial vendor=0x21f5 product=0x2008
this is just an example.

Then you setup a ppp connection using some tool, for example:

Code:

pppsetup
