I am using Ubuntu 12.04.

When I plug My USB Mobile Broadband Modem, it is detected as a storage disk. It does not switch its mode to Modem. The modem is Micromax MMX310G 3G.

Sir Beeju.You are absolutely Right.It is a mobile broadband Modem.It was detected in 11.04 and 11.10.But it wont be detected in 12.04.I think it is a bug. – shmzkm May 4 '12 at 8:46

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!
