Hey,

I'm trying to use my 3G USB stick to provide internet to the router.
No ttyUSBx device's showing...

I installed usb-modeswith to support this modem's usb flip-flop (cdrom/3g modem) operation.

The router: TP-Link TL-WDR4300
OpenWRT Barrier Breaker - Trunk - r38999
The USB stick: Novatel MC950D
