When I connect my 3G USB Modem to my laptop with 12.04, nothing shows up in Network-Manager. This modem is working in 11.10 and the modem is shown in Network-Manager but not in 12.04 !!
When connecting my USB modem, it is detected as a USB storage. According to that thread, running sudo modprobe option could make the device be detected as a modem. If not, it is also suggested to execute the following commands:
Bsnl 3g usb modem drivers
After reboot, your modem should be detected when connecting it to the computer. Of course, this might not be the case (as it wasn't for me)! My device wasn't detected correctly after the first time it was connected to the computer. Instead, I had to disconnect and then reconnect it, and this time it was correctly detected as a modem in the Network-Manger. Some people might also need to restart the network-manager service (as I did):
Did you install usb-modeswitch ? Ubuntu 10.10 must have come along with it . Try to check with Synaptics whether usb-modeswitch is installed . Once installed , plug in your USB modem and wait . There will be an option at the connectivity icon where it writes create new mobile broadband . Then follow the steps from the window . Im using usb modem with Ubuntu 10.10 and it runs fine . =)
Do you know what brand and model your modem is? Huawei, Option or Sony Ericsson?Some Huawei models need some tweaking. At the danish site here: -bredb%C3%A5nd/mobiltbredbans.htmlyou can download and run a script that will make most Huawei models work. You can translate the page with google translate ;-)
I am using Arch linux (fully updated). I have been trying to get my BSNL 3G usb modem to work to no avail for the past couple of hours. I have already installed modeswitch, wvdial, modem manager, gnome-ppp, etc but whatever I try throws up some error or the other. When I try wvdial now, this is what I get:
From what I remember, I only had to install 3G protocol and the USB drivers and my 3G USB was successfully identified and started working. I did this in v15.05.x so I'm not sure why this is not working for you.
But, maybe due to their ignorance, the dialler application is not quite effective in bringing even the most basic functionality expected - the 3G modem functionality, on today's versions of Ubuntu (10.04, 10.10).
Anyway, after some research and much experimenting, I got my device working as a 3G modem on my Ubuntu 10.04 with the help of Joshua Dietze's usb_modeswitch (usb_modeswitch is a simple but very useful linux script for switching the modes of such composite usb devices).
From the "Select your Plan" dropdown, select your plan from the list. If not present, Select the last option "My plan is not listed...". Now in the "Selected Plan APN (Access Point Name)" textbox, enter your APN. Note: If unsure about your plan's APN, Please confirm the correct APN, for your plan and area, with BSNL Customer Care. For me, (at Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala), the APN was bsnlnet Click "Forward".
I installed EasyPeasy 1.6 and when I plugged in the BSNL 3G Teracom LW272 then it showed up a window in which there are Driver/Setup files of the modem for all Linux, Windows, Mac. BSNL has already supplied all the necessary driver/setup files within their modem itself. No need to use anything from outside.
Hi, I was dreading having to muddle my way through setting up my 3G modem and potentially screwing up my Ubuntu 10.10 install on my desktop when I decided to Google Teracom and BSNL. I found the link to your manual setup first (I since saw the .deb you have created) and followed it to the letter. The result is a working 3G connection on which I am writing this comment - thanks a lot for the detailed instructions - I owe you a beer and if you don't drink alcohol, a fruit cocktail. If you are in Trivandrum - drop me an email .

So the question comes, why does it happen? If a mobile phone or USB modem Internet works fine in one Windows version, why does it not work in another Windows version? The reason is different features and functionality of different Windows versions.
Generally for GSM mobile phones and USB modems, the dial-up phone number is *99# or *99***1#. Leave the username and password fields blank.
For CDMA mobile phones and USB modems (Tata Photon+), the dial-up phone number is #777 and username and password is internet (all in small letters).

1. uninstall the software if already installed.2. open the modem in new windows and set its ( modem_installation.exe and show_modem.exe ) compatibility to windows7 then press OK.3. Now install the software , then restart the system .4. Connect the modem and start the software ( it shows no device ) then exit the application from the task manager .5. Open the Device manager ( control panel > Administrative tools > Computer management )6. Go for Other devices , simply uninstall all the drivers related to modem there (better uninstall both with or without yellow mark)7. Go to Action menu and click on Scan for hardware changes .
actully i have a kind of same problem.i use mts wifi i.e., modem. it was working good but from past a week i am not able to open the mblaze application. but the wifi worls well when plugged in. but the mblaze application is not opening.any solution?
hi, there you might not have uninstalled the drivers which are in others section in Device Manager, go step by step you will get things done. After uninstall do Scan for hardware changes, if appears again you have to uninstall and reinstall then check again. When done then works fine.
