1.Detecting the device
2.Configuring wvdial.conf
3.Dialling
In most cases the hardware is auto detected and drivers are automatically loaded. You can check your /dev/ directory for any of these files.
ttyusb0, ttyusb1, ttyusb2 ……
After plugging in he modem, a new device should appear. In most cases it ttyusb0. If no file is appearing then you will have to manually load the drivers by issuing the following command.
modprobe usbserial vendor=0×05c6 product=0×6000
This will load the drivers and make your new device visible in /dev/
Now add the following lines to your wvdial.conf
[Dialer Defaults]
Modem=/dev/ttyUSB0
Baud=115200
Dial Command = ATDT
Baud=115200
Dial Command = ATDT
init1=ATZ
init2=AT+CRM=1
Flow Control= Hardware (CRTSCTS)
Username =
Password =
Phone = #777
Stupid Mode = 1
Now try the command wvdial in your terminal. It should work.
Guys I am using a BSNL EVDO connection. i am very keen on adopting UBUNTU. i have been working on trying to get the 9.10 online but unfortunately nothing seems to be working....
ReplyDeleteproblems - device is not getting detected
tried adding it thru the manager..still no avail.
i am exasperated and seeing all hopes of going "OPEN SOURCE" evaporate. if its so easy to use...why is it so damn tough to get online?
very discouraged......maybe its my unfamiliarity with the platform...why is it so damn hard?
Yes, There are some problems in mobile broadband connection in Ubuntu 9.10. In Ubuntu 9.04 This BSNL EVDO works with out any Issue. But in Ubuntu 9.10 something went wrong. Anyway this issue has been reported reported in launch pad. Hope the problem will get solved very soon ..
