Novatel mc950d on linux

I tried every method I found to make it work. What finally works for me is ejecting the virtual cdrom.

itorres@itorres-laptop:~$ tail -100 /var/log/messages | grep "scsi generic"
Sep 29 11:10:34 itorres-laptop kernel: [ 1246.265124] sr 12:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 5
itorres@itorres-laptop:~$ sudo eject /dev/sg2

With this the /dev/ttyUSB* devices appear. Add your wvdial recipes to /etc/wvdial.conf and you’re ok to go.
