Re: ttyUSB* device for ModemManager

[Jaymin Patel <technostab gmail com>]

Dan,

Network Manager was picking the correct interface 3.

From /proc/bus/usb/devices, I found that interface 2 shows null and so 
/dev/ttyUSB3 was not created from the USB subsystem it self.

Even in windows It does not create virtual com port for interface 2.

And it works fine in my Liunx.

Thanks for you prompt reply and My apologize for delay in reply.
