prost 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2013 I have two modems: a 3G & a dial-up modem. Unfortunately, the NetApplet network-manager software assigns both of them ppp0. How can I assign a different value, say ppp1, to one of them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

K Bergen 1 Report post Posted December 29, 2013 What you need is a udev rule for the 3g. I only have a rudimentary understanding of udev rules and can't be of much help but this link and/or a web search may help. http://reactivated.net/udevrules.php Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
