I'm desperately trying to connect a 3G dongle to Ubuntu 12.04. Unfortunately every time I try to connect (using wvdial) I'm met with the message Cannot open /dev/ttyUSB0: No such file or directory I have looked in /dev and there are actually no ttyUSB files in that folder.



I have tried lsusb command which actually does list my dongle



the output of lsusb is:

          read from your syslog:




          • the device seems to emulate a CD drive which delivers windows drivers.

          • there are ttyACM devices. Did you try /dev/ttyACM1 and 2 instead of ttyUSB0?






          share|improve this answer























          • Hi i've tried searching using the device id... many posts on the same subject... but no actual answer. As for the kernel 'im running Linux ubuntu 3.2.0-40-generic #64-Ubuntu

          • Its not a phone its a USB 3G dongle. I have checked out the webpage you sent me. The first sentence says "Firstly, this is NOT the same as the LG HDM-2100 (EVDO Rev.A USB modem) which has the same device ID - the commands required are totally different" the one i have is the LG HDM 2100 so anything listed on this page wont work

          • Yep ur absolutely right the device does deliver windows drivers as an emulated cd, as for ttyACM i have checked in the /dev folder for these but unfortunately they are also not present :(

          • for wlan one may use windows drivers but for G3 I fear not. Are you absolutely sure there is no ACM in dev? try cd /dev ; find| grep ttyACM in case it's in a subdir. if not, I cannot help any furter. if a device isn't supported by the kernel you have to write a driver yourself or find a similar device that has a driver that works for you.

          • the device seems to emulate a CD drive which delivers windows drivers.

          • there are ttyACM devices. Did you try /dev/ttyACM1 and 2 instead of ttyUSB0?

          • Its not a phone its a USB 3G dongle. I have checked out the webpage you sent me. The first sentence says "Firstly, this is NOT the same as the LG HDM-2100 (EVDO Rev.A USB modem) which has the same device ID - the commands required are totally different" the one i have is the LG HDM 2100 so anything listed on this page wont work
