I am now using the USB modem 'Mobilelink HSUPA 7.2 Mbps Model ML27' to try to connect to internet in ubuntu 12.04. However, it cannot detect my USB modem and I cannot install it following Network Connections > Mobile Broadband > Add. Anyone has the experience using this USB modem?

(This is brought in Indonesia)

After a little bit of searching, I am able to detect the 'Mobilelink HSUPA 7.2 Mbps Model ML27' USB modem, it is in this thread (3G USB Modem Not Working in 12.04). The product key 20a6:f00e is found by lsusb and usb-devices.

  1. sudu do
  2. nano /usr/bin/usbModemScript and type

    #!/bin/bash echo 20a6 f00e > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/option1/new_id

    Then save and exit.

  3. chmod +x /usr/bin/usbModemScript

  4. nano /etc/udev/rules.d/option.rules and type

    ATTRS{idVendor}=="20a6", ATTRS{idProduct}=="f00e", RUN+="/usr/bin/usbModemScript" ATTRS{idVendor}=="20a6", ATTRS{idProduct}=="f00e", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe option"

    Then save and exit.

  5. sudo reboot

After reboot, it can be detected by Network Manager. I add it in the Mobile Broadband, with the following setting:

Country: Indonesia

Provider: Telkomsel

Plan: Volume-based

Number: *99#

Username: empty

Password: empty

APN: internet

Network ID: empty

Type: Any

PIN: empty

And I select the option 'Connect Automatically'
