I upgraded the ubuntu on my laptop from 12.04 -> 12.10. In 12.04, I followed the installation procedure for linux. Whenever i connect the USB dongle, the application launches on detection and I can connect using the GUI window.

I upgraded to ubuntu 12.10, when I am connecting the dongle. The device is not detected.

After this i tried the usb_modeswitch method, adding the rule in the /lib/udev/rules/40-usb_modeswitch** with the vendor and devid. I can see in the "dmesg" the modem detection as:

[ 2111.508851] usb 2-1.4: new high-speed USB device number 16 using ehci_hcd
[ 2111.609813] usb 2-1.4: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB0
[ 2111.610163] usb 2-1.4: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB1
[ 2111.610476] usb 2-1.4: GSM modem (1-port) converter now attached to ttyUSB2

I created a connection in the network_configuration and re-connected the USB dongle, but still connection is not activating in the Network Manager.

Try adding the connection manually. In Network Connections click Add, choose Mobile Broadband. Does the usb device show up in Create a connection for this mobile broadband device?

If yes - simply follow the steps to create the connection.

  • thanks for replying Frost, no the device is not coming in the create connection window. Couldn't get why so.

I am able to establish connection (for both 3/4G) using the wvdial. Answering this, using the connection made by the device which raised this question :)
