When my machine reboots it's a lottery which USB devices get assigned to which
ttyUSBn
.
Therefore I have to rename /etc/ppp/options.ttyUSB0
periodically.
I've tried /etc/ppp/options.usb-FTDI_FT232R_USB_UART_00000000-if00-port0
but that doesn't work.
Is there a way of doing it?
All I can think of is a cron
@reboot
job for root
#!/bin/sh
tty=$(ls -l /dev/serial/by-id | grep FTDI | cut -d '/' -f 3)
cp /etc/ppp/options.usb-FTDI_FT232R_USB_UART_00000000-if00-port0 "/dev/ppp/options.$(tty)"
```
