newbie - 3g USB Modem [WORKING- SOLVED]

[marcopl]

guys, i have a 3g usb modem of brand bluecube (taiwanese brand similar to huawei i think). Anyway in a mandriva 2008 box, i had to use usbmodeswitch and make special udev rules for it to work with wvdial.

But with JJ, it was so much easier.

1. I installed wvdial via sudo apt-get install wvdial.
2. ran wvdialconf via sudo wvdialconf.
3, Edited the resulting wvdial.conf file ( for a malaysian scenario( the provider is celcom) ) as follows;

[Dialer celcom]
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Phone = *99#
Username = user
Password = pass
Auto DNS = on
Baud = 9600
New PPPD = yes
ISDN = 0
Stupid Mode = 1

4. then to connect , 'sudo wvdial celcom' and volla... u r connected.

hope this helps the next guy.

Now i still have to get my toucpad and bluetooth working on this compaq cq40.

just one thing , before u execute sudo wvdial celcom , u have stop other ethernet devices by 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop'. if not u will get connected but u cant browse the net or ping. the apps arent able to associate with the ppp0 interface i guess?

bro, the 3g usb modem is not a mobilephone. Its just a mobile broadband device - with no telephone fucntionality.
but if u want to get yr phone tethered via bluetooth to yr laptop and use it as a modem ,some users here have done it with blueman.

I m trying to get blueman to work for me but..... no luck bro
