However, it looks like a binary driver is available on Mdk9:

hub.c: USB new device connect on bus2/1, assigned device number 2
usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x483/0x7554) is not claimed by any active

Now all I need to do is work out where the modem is under /dev/

Is there a way of working out which /dev/ link should be used just from the 
output of dmesg and /var/log/messages above?

I've never understood how to find USB devices once plugged in - LinuxFormat 
tutorials always seem to use devices that explain where they are attached but 
I can't see how to get the same information for my devices. I can find no 
hint about where under /dev/ this USB modem is available. It should be easier 
than this.
