Re: Mobile broadband connects to wrong USB device

Is there a way to change the init string? When I run:

NM_SERIAL_DEBUG=1 /usr/sbin/NetworkManager --no-daemon

I can see that it's trying to send an init string that is different to 
the one that I'm using in my /etc/wvdial.conf file. Then, an error gets 
returned saying that it couldn't initialise the modem. I'm pretty sure 
that if I change this init string in NetworkManager that it will work.
