How To Install Evdo In Ubuntu?

Install BSNL evdo card in Ubuntu 12.10

• I want to install BSNL EVDO Rev A USB Data Card Model No.:T-U500 on my laptop which is double booted with both ubuntu and windows 7. BSNL evdo works well on windows 7 and I tried to install it on ubuntu. I don't have internet connection in Ubuntu. I tried to install using terminal at@at-Presario-V3700-Notebook-PC:~$ sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x15eb product=0x7153 at@at-Presario-V3700-Notebook-PC:~$ sudo wvdialconf Editing `/etc/wvdial.conf'. Scanning your serial ports for a modem. Modem Port Scan<*1>: S0 S1 S2 S3 S4 S5 S6 S7 ... ttyUSB0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- and failed too at 115200, giving up. Sorry, no modem was detected! Is it in use by another program? Did you configure it properly with setserial? Please read the FAQ at http://alumnit.ca/wiki/?WvDial TWO: Then I tried to follow http://linuxers.org/howto/how-configure-bsnl-evdo-linux And after I typed wvdial I am getting error /etc/wvdial.conf I edited to: [Dialer Defaults] Modem=/dev/tty0 Baud=115200 Dial Command = ATDT Baud=115200 Dial Command = ATDT init1=ATZ init2=AT+CRM=1 Flow Control= Hardware (CRTSCTS) Username = 9180326472 Password = 9180326472 Phone = #777 Stupid Mode = 1 resolv.conf I edited to hash Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8) hash DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN nameserver 218.248.240.181 nameserver 208.67.220.220 (By hash I mean #) What I typed in terminal: root@at-Presario-V3700-Notebook-PC:~# vim /etc/wvdial.conf root@at-Presario-V3700-Notebook-PC:~# vim /etc/resolv.conf root@at-Presario-V3700-Notebook-PC:~# wvdial --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.61 --> Cannot get information for serial port. --> Initializing modem. --> Sending: ATZ --> Sending: ATQ0 --> Re-Sending: ATZ --> Modem not responding. root@at-Presario-V3700-Notebook-PC:~# After doing all this I logged into Windows, uninstalled it, unplugged the modem, plugged it again, clicked "open folder to view files", clicked Linux, Copied "BSNL EVDO Installer" to the desktop. Then I logged onto Ubuntu moved the file into its desktop and installed it. After installation I clicked "EVDO Data Card" but nothing happened. What should I do? Is the problem caused by something I did above?

• Answer:

  You need to install two software packages to make the internet connectivity work consistently without breaking. They are wvdial and gnome-ppp (The front-end tool to configure wvdial). 1) Install wvdial package Open terminal,(alt+ctrl+t) and type the following command sudo apt-get install wvdial 2) Install gnome-ppp sudo apt-get install gnome-ppp 3) Open gnome-ppp from the terminal. sudo gnome-ppp 4)You have to enter your BSNL 10-digit mobile number in the Username & your password. Type *99# in the number row. Then press the Setup button below. 5) In the Setup window below, click the “Detect” button to identify the device ID of the USB port in which you have inserted your USB modem. The tool would automatically detect the Device, Type and Speed of your USB modem. Once it has deteced, please the “Close” button below. Once this is done click on Connect!!! You could also configure it through the terminal. This http://www.aboutlinux.info/2004/11/connecting-to-bsnl-dial-up-internet.html should help you to configure it via terminal. You could also try installing ixconn.you can get it http://www.mwconn.net/download_ixconn.html
