My EG25-G was working just fine and it was creating the /dev/ttyUSB{0-3} ports as described in the user manual. I was using /dev/ttyUSB3 for AT commands and all worked fine.
I issued the command AT+QCFG="usbauto",1
and saved (AT&W
), I was testing for some debug port functionality
After this point on (disconnecting the modem and connecting again to USB), the modem is still detected (dmesg shows detection) but it is recognized as RNDIS device. No /dev/ttyUSB* ports are creaeted and I can’t send any AT commands to it. (I can see a new usb0
network device now.

Is there a way to bring back the ttyUSB* ports? Or is there a way to send any AT commands to the modem now?
