How To add USB devices?

How To add USB devices?

[Ron Ellison]

While goggling, I have found that there are many more unhappy

With UDEV then there are that clam UDEV is good.

 

With lots of internet articles, man pages and examples,

No one can figure why one Wireless Modem works and

another one does not.

 

I can plug my Dell modem into Ubuntu, but I must

Load USBSERIAL by manual command.

 

The command is ignored if USBSERIAL is in Use.

 

So I must unplug every device that uses USB-serial

And then install my modem.  Then load USB-serial.

Then install my other devices.

 

When Microsoft can run three of these modems at the same time,

Do you feel a little embarrassed?

Then poke ubuntu, it should work properly.

And you should NOT use the basic usbserial module, but instead use the
proper sierra or option module.

I can run 16 of these modems at the same time, is Microsoft embarrassed?
