I have asked you to run lsusb to know your modem type cause i am using CanarGo not Sudani mDSL.

My result after running lsusb is :


Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 16d8:6803 CMOTECH Co., Ltd.
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

Notice: The third result is my CanarGo modem and CMOTECH (http://www.cmotech.com/) is the manufacturer of the modem & your modem manufacturer is Qualcomm (http://www.qualcomm.com/) or at least the chip manufacturer.

Your modem driver name is ZTE AC8700 and it have problems with the new Network Manager in Karmic koala & this bug have not been assigned to any developer until now so for the mean time the bug can still disturbing us but no problem.

Cause the problem is from Network Manager so your driver is ok but we need another way to access it.

we can Gnome PPP (http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=41) (modem dialup too)

let's roll:

1- Install Gnome-PPP :

sudo apt-get install gnome-ppp

2- Open Gnome-PPP from : Applications >> Internet >> Gnome-PPP

3- Click Setup.

4- Change /dev/modem to /dev/ttyS0 & click Detect it will recognise your modem automatically.

5- Close this window and enter your username, password and phone number to enjoy surfing again.



Sorry you need to do one more thing (make it run as Root) Gnome-ppp uses Wvdial (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wvdial) and it needs to access it as Root so do the following:

1- Right click on Application menu & select Edit Menus.

2- From the left select Internet then select Gnome-PPP & click properties you will get Launcher properties screen.

3- In Command change it to gksudo gnome-ppp instead of gnome-ppp.

4- I think after this step you will need to enter the setting again for Gnome-PPP.

5- Done.


I hope this will work for you ( Insah2 allah ).

i will try to install gnome-ppp without being online

i think it will work

thank you for your nice and complete report mr ZERO

[zero-n]

Ok

keep us informed

[zero-n]

Another way to do it using just Wvdial but it uses terminal:

1- Install Wvdial if you don't have it.

sudo apt-get install wvdialor install it form Ubuntu CD:

dependices are locate in :


pool/main/w/wvstreams
and wvdial package is located in:


pool/main/w/wvdial
2- Run Wvdialconf command to detect you modem:

sudo wvdialconfThis will save the configuration in this file /etc/wvdial.conf

3- Edit you file and type your username, password ,phone number & baud rate if you want.

sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.confThis is my wvdial.conf file:


[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Stupid Mode = yes
ISDN = 0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Phone = #777
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Username = *******@canar.go
Carrier Check = no
Password = ********
Baud = 96004- Run Wvidal it will automatically look to hte content of wvdial.conf

sudo wvdialIn my case this is the result:

--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60
--> Cannot get information for serial port.
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATZ
OK
--> Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
OK
--> Modem initialized.
--> Sending: ATDT#777
--> Waiting for carrier.
ATDT#777
CONNECT
--> Carrier detected. Starting PPP immediately.
--> Starting pppd at Sat Dec 19 05:03:06 2009
--> Pid of pppd: 11883
--> Using interface ppp0
--> pppd: H%�[08]�'�[08]
--> pppd: H%�[08]�'�[08]
--> pppd: H%�[08]�'�[08]
--> pppd: H%�[08]�'�[08]
--> pppd: H%�[08]�'�[08]
--> local IP address 41.202.185.208
--> pppd: H%�[08]�'�[08]
--> remote IP address 10.30.20.2
--> pppd: H%�[08]�'�[08]
--> primary DNS address 196.29.180.19
--> pppd: H%�[08]�'�[08]
--> secondary DNS address 196.29.164.29
5- If you are done you can press Ctrl+c to exit.

Notice: Username & password in wvdial.conf are stored as clear text, in your cause that is not important but in my case this is totally different.
