RE: serial 3G modem connection

When the modem is plugged into the serial port

joker@jokersPc:~$ sudo udevadm info --query=property --name=/dev/ttyS0
UDEV_LOG=3
DEVPATH=/devices/pnp0/00:0b/tty/ttyS0
MAJOR=4
MINOR=64
DEVNAME=/dev/ttyS0
SUBSYSTEM=tty
DEVLINKS=/dev/char/4:64

For reference this is what I see running the same command when the modem
is plugged into the USB port

joker@jokersPc:~$ sudo udevadm info --query=property --name=/dev/ttyUSB1

Can you run this for me, as root?

udevadm info --query=property --name=/dev/ttyS0
