ALCATEL Modem compatibility on UB 12.04

Question

Reciently updated to UB12.04 from previous version. When done, my alcatex onetouch x220Y 3g modem does not work anymore. How can I fix this? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Open up a terminal from Applications -> Accessories. Type:

gksu gedit /etc/modules

At the bottom of the file, make two new lines, like this:

usbserial
option

Then close the editor program and save it. Reboot the computer and hopefully you’ll be right from now on!

Answer 2

Thanks, this worked for me for ClubTelco/Dodo USB Modem (Alcatel 'OneTouch X220L'):

Vendor=1bbb ProdID=0017 Rev=00.00
1bbb:0017 T & A Mobile Phones

I also needed to clear some of my other attempts using:

sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome
