While trying to test a Cinterion GSM/GPS/3G module I had reconfigured
the USB interface by mistake and therefore needed to run a different
USB driver than CDC-ACM. It turned out that I need the "usbserial" driver.
This file is an official description how to use it:
Documentation/usb/usb-serial.txt
But it is outdated. The parameters vendor= and product= have been
superseded by a /sys interface.
Here was the solution:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=175499
insmod usbserial vendor=0x#### product=0x####
becomes (first #### is vendor, second is product)
modprobe usbserial
echo #### #### >/sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/generic/new_id
This patch changes the documentation file to describe the modern variant.
Please note that the old one still works (if compiled as module).
