Integrating usb-modeswitch and ifupdown for modem stick



Hi,

 

I use usb-modeswitch in jessie-backports to bringup the Aldi Webstick (Mediatek MD 99079), which works nicely.

 

I integrated the network interface in /etc/network/interfaces

 

#auto ppp0

iface ppp0 inet ppp

provider alditalk

pre-up /usr/local/bin/setPIN.sh

 

which also works nicely with "ifup ppp0".

 

The downside I see though is that if I uncomment the "auto ppp0" I get a

 

root@mohot:~# ifup ppp0

/usr/sbin/pppd: In file /etc/ppp/peers/alditalk: unrecognized option '/dev/ttyUSB0'

Failed to bring up ppp0.

root@mohot:~#

 

I suspect it is because at the time ifupdown tries to bringup /dev/ttyUSB0, usb-modeswitch did not yet run on this interface.

 

root@mohot:~# grep ttyUSB0 /var/log/syslog

Dec 11 08:50:47 mohot pppd[256]: In file /etc/ppp/peers/alditalk: unrecognized option '/dev/ttyUSB0'

Dec 11 08:50:56 mohot kernel: [ 17.462944] usb 1-1: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB0

root@mohot:~#

 

Is there a way to get this dependency included in the boot process?

 

Many thanks

Rainer
