Let us not give up so easy. Could you do the
following so we can determine what other things we can
do
$ su -
pswd: ***
# lsusb -v
send us that information, and
# dmesg
The other thing to do and try is to use wvdial in the
meantime edit the file /etc/wvdial.conf add your
username, psswd:, phone number and make a script
# script wvdialtest.log
# wvdial
# exit
script created on .....
attach the script and hopefully we can get to the root
of the problem.
Before I forget, when you need to use the modem to
connect to the internet and you are also on a network,
please run
# ifconfig eth0 down
and try to connect again. This is a little thing that
makes a big difference.
Regards,
Antonio
