Hi Mathieu, Many thanks for your reply!
Here are the requested information. I have removed my custom udev rule, unplugged the modem, run the udevadm monitor command and reinserted the modem. Please find attached the udevadm log and the syslog. >From the syslog you can easily see that when ttyUSB4 is used the connection works (you can see it thanks to my custom rule) while without my rule, ttyUSB3 is used and the connection doesn't work: $ grep -2 'ppp0.*ttyUSB4' syslog Aug 8 11:42:30 angela-iMac NetworkManager[596]: SCPlugin-Ifupdown: device added (path: /sys/devices/virtual/net/ppp0, iface: ppp0): no ifupdown configuration found.
