You may have to contact the manufacturer to know if a driver is needed and available. Also take a look at Enabling or Installing D-Link DWM 156 broadband modem? – vasa1 Jan 24 at 10:11

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[.]

I found this solution in Maduka Jayalath's answer to Micromax MMX 310G Data Card is not being recognized as a modem.
