I'm building a remote tracking device with a Raspberry PI3, using a Vodafone/Huawei 3g pendrive model k3765 and a GlobalSat G-STAR IV usb gps receiver. I'm unable to make them working properly right after the Raspberry PI is booted, With this rc.local script I'm forced to add sleep 100 to postpone the execution otherwise the wdial is unable to connect to the 3G dongle.
(
sleep 100
exec /usr/bin/wvdial Defaults &
exec /usr/sbin/gpsd /dev/ttyUSB3 -G -n -F /var/run/gpsd.sock
) &
wdial.conf defaults configuration:
.......
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Baud = 115200
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 S11=55 +FCLASS=0
.........
Moreover the 3G device is unable to communicate with Wvdial when initialized after the GPS:

I tried to unplug the GPS and reboot the Raspberry, in this way the 3G start working (notice ttyUSB0, ttyUSB1, ttUSB2 are used):

...and now they both works.
I need a way to make them work at boot with no delay.
