"Unable to open device /dev/ttyHS"

[eddiemouse]

Hi, can somebody help me with this problem. I try to connect to the internet but when
I try to setup the modem using the Pclinuxos control center it gives me the following
error

"Unable to open device /dev/ttyHS"

I use the 3G/GPRS setup.

"It picks up the 3G modem as "N.V. Globetrotter HSDPA Modem"

I use Pclinuxos 2010.10 KDE"

Greetings
Eddie

I wrote last summer advice how to make Globetrotter HSDPA Modem and Nokia CS-15 work in PCLinuxOS. That thread was later removed for some reason, and I can't remember exact solution anymore.

Nowadays I use NetworkManager + applet, they work much better with 3G modems.

If it is anything like my modem, it may be /dev/ttyHS0, /dev/ttyHS1, etc.
I would try ls /dev/ttyHS* and see what is listed, then make a symbolic link pointing to the correct location:

su <enter password>
ln -s /dev/ttyHS /dev/ttyHS0

That may be all there is to it. Then again, 3g modems seem to defy logic.
