of the NetworkManager control port, which in your case would be ttyUSB2
(as reported by 'nmcli dev'). Data ports (like ppp0) are transient,
they come and go, so locking the connection profile to a specific
device needs to happen with the control interface name.
If you change that to ttyUSB2 or even just remove it entirely, what
happens?
