Re: Mobile broadband connects to wrong USB device

[Ben <ben benjamin it>]

Hmmm no if I change the int to a 4 and reboot, it tries to connect but 
about half a second later it instantly connects back to what it had 
originally connected to (LAN or whatever). There is nothing in the log 
(/var/log/messages) about what it's doing so it's hard to say. But if I 
set int to be 3 for example and then connect, it says it's trying to 
dial ttyUSB3, so setting it to 4 I am assuming it is trying to connect 
to ttyUSB4.

Any other suggestions? Is there any other place where it could be 
logging failed attempts? I read somewhere that it could put info in 
/var/log/networkmanager but I don't have that file.

Thanks for the help.
