Hi tanmoytherockstar, from an older thread I copied the following:

...It is a little bit difficult to restore the missing wvdial (in 9.04) without having internet access to this pc. Also we must say that this is a very strange situation. I managed to install, connect via wvdial and send this post. At first I downloaded the following packages (from a pc connected to the internet, any O.S.):

1. http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/libxplc0.3.13/download
2. http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/libwvstreams4.4-base/download
3. http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/libwvstreams4.4-extras/download
4. http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/libuniconf4.4/download
5. http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/wvdial/download

Note that above are all for an i386 pc.

I copied all to a USB memory stick, and then paste them to the ubuntu 9.04 running pc into /var/cache/apt/archives/ directory using sudo nautilus from terminal. Then I installed all packages by double clicking the icon of each .deb package in above order (1,2,3,4 and finally 5) ignoring any message. Finally (after installation) I run wvdialconf, edit the /etc/wvdial.conf file and connected with sudo wvdial!

You can find a .zip file to http://acomelectronics.com/GeorgeVita/restore_wvdial.html

Also search this forum for other info regarding your 'BSNL EVDO net modem' to be informed for other possible problems.

Regards,
George
