How to install wireless usb modem?

[maruf7]

Hello,
I've read a lot of threads and tips but nothing worked. I've been trying to connect to internet with wireless usb modem, but failed to connect. Modem is detected, but no successfull connection. Please help! Thanks.

First thing: in a terminal do

lsusb

and post the output of that here so that people can see exactly what sort of device you are dealing with.

that is because you need the dial number, username and password for your ISP. call them to tell you this and try to setup connection manually from network manager. what isp do you have and what kind of modem are we talking about?
now, i have had an older modem witch only worked with wvdial.
now....put the output of lsusb

Thanks for your response. Output of lsusb:

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 1a2c:0027
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 19d2:fff1 ZTE WCDMA Technologies MSM

I've already tried stting up the connection manually with username, password and number, but connection fails.

Hi. Can you say for sure that this

Bus 002 Device 004: ID 19d2:fff1 ZTE WCDMA Technologies MSM

is your device? Or that it isn't?

hi. Can you say for sure that this

bus 002 device 004: Id 19d2:fff1 zte wcdma technologies msm

is your device? Or that it isn't?

Try it without a username and password. None of my 3g devices have ever needed it.

Have a look here, particularly at the step immediatly after selecting "add" where the author describes selecting the type of modem.

I don't recall having to make that selection when setting up my Hauwei stick, but maybe that could help you.

Also, tell us which version of Ubuntu you are using. That might be relevant...

would you like to try wvdial?
it is not that hard...

go to alternative way 1.
and also, install wvdial.
if wvdial doesn't see your modem, try to use setserial.

Go to the site which the modem is from and see if there are drivers or to see if there's information on how to set it up.
