usb 3g modem [solved]
« on: March 25, 2011, 04:40:57 AM »
Having trouble setting up a nokia CS-17 3g usb dongle.
In PCC>Set up a new network interface> GPRS/Edge/3G the datacard shows up but unfortunately I get a message from Drakconnect
"Unable to open device /dev/ttyACM"

I checked /dev/ and it seems I have ttyACM0 and also ttyACM1 but not ttyACM. I believe that the device is at /dev/ttyACM0

Is Drakconnect looking for the wrong device? how do I change it so where it looks is to ttyACM0

Search the forum for

/dev/ttyACM

and you will find threads that should help, like this one

and others. One of which has a link to this

Thanks, got it fixed but after 3hours it seams the local 3g signal is rubbish and I returned it to the shop.
