I had a Huawei usb gprs modem (I think it was E1550, I am not sure though.
It would show as sr1.
Had to install usb-modeswitch from fatdog's package manager.
It changed it back to /dev/ttyUSB0.
Here's description of usb-modeswitch in Fatdog's package manager
usb-modeswitch 2.4.0 (GPRS/3D USB modem switcher)
USB ModeSwitch is a mode switching tool for controlling
multi-mode USB devices. Many USB devices (especially GPRS/3G
modems have their MS Windows drivers onboard. These devices,
when plugged in for the first time, will present a USB flash
storage contaniing Windows drivers. After installation these
Windows drivers will switch the mode and activate a new device
(the real modem interface). USB modeswitch enable similar mode
switch for Linux users.
