How to install BSNL Evdo in Ubuntu?

**chndn** · December 26th, 2012

I am having a BSNL EVDO Rev A USB Data Card Model No.:T-U500 and want to install it in my Ubuntu which has no internet connection. What should I do?

I have installes wvdial, gnome-ppp.
When I click detect on gnome-ppp I get "No modem was found on your system"

I have posted similar questions on same problem in:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/23166...n-ubuntu-12-10
http://askubuntu.com/questions/22749...ing-error?lq=1

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?

PLEASE HELP

"No modem was found on your system"

This means your USB-MODEM is not being detected. Post the output of:

Code:

$ lsusb

'usbmodeswitch' is pre-installed on Ubuntu... Check if it is there. Even if its there remove it with Synaptic or Software Centre and then reinstall it.

Remember you may have to wait/give a few minutes for your USB-Modem to get detected.

NetworkManager (which is pre-installed on Ubuntu) generally works well without wvdial.

Post the output of the lsusb so that we know whether your modem is being detected or not.

Hey..!

I have bought the same data card and am facing the same issue as well..!

So, I have started a thread here:
http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modes...php?f=3&t=1601

Also, interestingly, I found a Linux installable on the USB Modem itself by accessing via a Windows machine.

However, the application is not running on my machine.
I also, extracted the files in the same but could not figure out what to do with them.

Here's the link to the .deb that was included. Hope that it at least lets us get connected somehow.
