Information in "/dev/serial/by-id/" is wrong if USB dongles have the same internal-name.<br />
<br />
Also, /dev/serial/by-id/ and /dev/serial/by-path/ are incoherent.<br />
<br />
Example: There is 3 USB E367 dongles plugged in:<br />
<br />
/dev/serial/by-path will show:<br />
<br />
pci-0000:00:1a.0-usb-0:1.4:1.0-port0 -> ../../ttyUSB8<br />
pci-0000:00:1a.0-usb-0:1.4:1.1-port0 -> ../../ttyUSB9<br />
pci-0000:00:1a.0-usb-0:1.4:1.2-port0 -> ../../ttyUSB10<br />
pci-0000:00:1a.0-usb-0:1.4:1.3-port0 -> ../../ttyUSB11<br />
pci-0000:00:1a.0-usb-0:1.6:1.0-port0 -> ../../ttyUSB0<br />
pci-0000:00:1a.0-usb-0:1.6:1.1-port0 -> ../../ttyUSB1<br />
pci-0000:00:1a.0-usb-0:1.6:1.2-port0 -> ../../ttyUSB2<br />
pci-0000:00:1a.0-usb-0:1.6:1.3-port0 -> ../../ttyUSB3<br />
pci-0000:00:1d.0-usb-0:1.6:1.0-port0 -> ../../ttyUSB4<br />
pci-0000:00:1d.0-usb-0:1.6:1.1-port0 -> ../../ttyUSB5<br />
pci-0000:00:1d.0-usb-0:1.6:1.2-port0 -> ../../ttyUSB6<br />
pci-0000:00:1d.0-usb-0:1.6:1.3-port0 -> ../../ttyUSB7<br />
<br />
12 files created, that is right for this model.<br />
<br />
However, in /dev/serial/by-id/ we will get:<br />
<br />
usb-Huawei_Technologies_HUAWEI_Mobile-if00-port0 -> ../../ttyUSB4<br />
usb-Huawei_Technologies_HUAWEI_Mobile-if01-port0 -> ../../ttyUSB5<br />
usb-Huawei_Technologies_HUAWEI_Mobile-if02-port0 -> ../../ttyUSB6<br />
usb-Huawei_Technologies_HUAWEI_Mobile-if03-port0 -> ../../ttyUSB7<br />
<br />
Only 4 files!.<br />
<br />
That files were overwritten twice by the last dongle detected.<br />
Why? All dongles come with the same name "usb-Huawei_Technologies_HUAWEI_Mobil"
