How to connect MTNL 3G or any usb data card on LinuxOk So I Bought a MTNL 3G dongle and was struggling to connect to the 3g network.
Tried everything usb mode switch, installed the software that came along with the client, network manager but no luck.
Finally thanks to manager I got the solution. If you have installed the software that comes with the dongle remove it.
Thats it then try to connect and its works successfully.
The software blocks the port which needs to be connected on and hence I was stuck.
Looking forward to enjoying my unlimited connection.
If the above still does not work then you need to type the code below
lsusbAfter connecting the datacard type the command above you will get an output as below

If you are not sure which is yours then remove your datacard run lsusb copy the output and then compare it with the outputyou got with datacard.
After you have got that, you will need to install usb_modeswitch as follows
sudo apt-get install usb-modeswitchOnce done type the following command
sudo usb_modeswitch -v 230d -p 0003 -u 3Where -v and -p we got from lsubs earlier.
and thats it you can either connect it from Network manager or with wvdial
sudo wvdialconfsudo wvdialYou need to edit /etc/wvdialconf with your apn, username and password.
Step-by-Step Guide for Configuring USB Modem on UbuntuBy Chethan S Voice & Data October 28, 201254 comments
Given the speed and virus-free environment offered by Linuxdistributions, many users are switching to Linux from Windowsthese days. Out of the several Linux variants available to auser, Ubuntu has seen wide adoption rates in India.Soon after installing any operating system a user’s firstactivity would be to configure internet connection! Though wired(ethernet) and wireless (Wi-Fi) connections work fine with firsttry, configuring a USB modem can be tricky at times on Linux.This post will throw some light on different ways to configure aUSB modem. The instructions are generic and will hold good fordifferent USB modems (like those provided by MTS, TATA Photonetc.).Also the steps will be similar for other Linux distributions likeMint, OpenSUSE etc.Using Ubuntu ‘Network Connections’
This is by far the simplest way to configure a USB modem toconnect to internet. No additional drivers or software arenecessary.1. Plug your USB Modem into an USB port. The LED light startsblinking and in a while once your modem is recognized you will beable to see an option – New Mobile Broadband (CDMA)connection/New Mobile Broadband (GSM) connection on clicking theNetwork icon just besides the sound icon on top panel.2. Once you click that, you will see this screen which will showyour device name. Click ‘Continue’ on the dialog.
3. In the next screen select country as ‘India’. This will helpUbuntu list Indian service providers in the next screen.
4. In the ‘Choose your Provider’ screen select your serviceprovider. In case it is not listed (BSNL EVDO is not listed)
enter it manually in the space provided. In case of EDGE/GPRS/3Gconnection the service providers list will be long.
5. The choose your billing plan screen appears only when using aEDGE/GPRS/3G connection. If you are configuring a 3G modem, sayBSNL you will be required to select proper zone (Eg.OldSouthZoneA…) to use proper APN settings.6. The last screen is to confirm all the settings and apply them.Click Apply here.7. Once you click Apply you will be presented with a dialog toenter authentication credentials and minimal configurationsettings. Important parameters are to be entered under ‘MobileBroadband’ tab. The dialing number would be #777 for CDMAconnections. It will be set by default. For GSM connections itwould be *99#. The username and passwords should be filledappropriately. Typically for BSNL EVDO it would be a 10 digitnumber.You may want to select ‘Connect automatically’ as this would helpthe connection to reconnect in case of disconnection.
Using Linux version of dialer by Modem vendorSometimes the CD which comes along with the modem will have Linuxversion (.deb package for Debian based distributions like Ubuntu,Mint etc.) of the dialer software. In such cases you just need toinstall it and use it.Using wvdialMost new Ubuntu versions detect a modem in few seconds. Only ifit does not happen follow this procedure. In older Ubuntuversions I had faced the issue where my device was not recognizedby Ubuntu network manager. In such situations wvdial can come torescue. Wvdial package does not come preinstalled and will haveto be installed separately (Not sure about just released Ubuntu12.10 though). You may have to used an ethernet connection todownload the packages and install automatically via UbuntuSoftware Center or download .deb files manually and get it in aUSB stick. If wvdial is brought this way, you will also have toget .deb files of dependent packages. There will be atleast 3-4dependencies which need to installed prior to installing wvdial.
The following instructions are for BSNL’s Capitel CDMA modem butothers would be similar.Once you are done installing wvdial, you will have to editwvdial.conf file to enter necessary details. In a terminal typegksudo gedit /etc/wvdial.confThe file contents should look like this after edits:[Dialer Defaults]Modem = /dev/ttyUSB3Init1 = ATZInit2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0Stupid Mode = 1Modem Type = Analog ModemPhone = #777New PPPD = yesISDN = 0Username = 9180****** (your username)Password = 9180****** (your password)Baud = 9600Once you save the file, run the following commands. (You willhave to run these two commands every time you connect tointernet. I assume that you boot your PC, log in, plug in themodem, wait for a while and run the commands)sudo wvdialconfsudo wvdialOnce you run the second command the modem tries to connect andonce connection is successful, you will be shown the IP and DNSaddresses. If you close the terminal window, the connection willstop working. So let it remain minimized. To disconnect use Ctrl+ C with terminal window in focus. To use terminal for otherpurposes, you can use a new tab.
For advanced usersAdvanced users can append & to sudo wvdial to send the process tobackground and get it back with fg command. The limitation hereis you will not be able to see if the connection is successful ornot without going to browser. Other options include using screencommand, disown etc.Did you face any issues while configuring your USB modem withUbuntu or any other Linux distribution? If yes, how did you solveit? Let us know through comments.
Try these instructions I found on Ubuntu forums -
-> Open your network manager go to manage connection.-> Open the mobile broadband and add a new connection.-> If it detects installed CDMA device or Huawei EC156 follow the instruction given by the network manager.-> Mark it to connect automatically in the mobile broadband edit options.-> Reboot your system and see it is connected automatically.

Connecting ubuntu 12.04.2 to internet using D-link dwm 156 3G/3.75G usb modem
I decided to post this myself because most of the guides and tutorials regarding this including many videos in YouTube doesn’tseems to work. and i found out that many people are also having the same problem with connecting this specific usb modem to Ubuntu 12.04.1,12.04.2, including Kubuntu, Edubuntu and many versions of Ubuntu.
The problem can be solved in the following 7 steps. I am taking into assumption that you have the Ubuntu OS installed and u have
the dwm156 d-link modem with a Internet plan activated Sim inserted.
You can also jump directly to Step3 after downloading the required fies from ( downoad)STEP 1: To find the value of X in the word “srX”.
Unplug the usb modem from PC and open terminal( CTRL + ALT + T). Then type mount/dev/sr (do not press enter but just click tab twice). you can see an option sr0, etc:Then plug in the modem and type in terminal /dev/sr (do not pressenter but just click tab twice). you can see an option sr0, sr1,etc: The newly added value is the required one. For me it wassr2.STEP2: Mount the usb modem as a CD drive.
Do not unplug the modem. Go to terminal and type sudo mount /dev/sr2 /cdrom . Enter superuser password when prompted.STEP3: Extract the .deb driver file of 32bit or 64 bit OS. Mine is 32 bit.
Once it is done you can open cdrom from nautilus or from file system/cdrom. U will see 2 .deb files of which one is 3g_modem_connect_DWM156_i386.deb, copy it to home folder.In terminal type ls and confirm u see the .deb file there. Doubleclicking the .deb file might not always work. So use the terminalinstall method.
You need usb_modeswitch to be visible there. If it is visible thengood. Type lsusb and see the following section
Bus xxx Device xxx: ID 2001:a80b D-Link Corp. The number 2001 is manufacturer id and a80b is vender id(before mode switching). If u see this then type in terminalusb_modeswitch -v2001 -pa80b and press enter, then it will switch mode from normal mode to data card mode
Type lsusb in terminalBus xxx Device xxx: ID 2001:7d00 D-Link Corp. Here also 2001 is manufacturer id and 7d00 is modem vendor id(mode switching is success)STEP5.1: In case step 5 fails, then download this file and paste it to /etc . This file contains the message needed to be send to dwm156 A6 hardware to internally switch the mode. In case u cant past it directly into /etc folder the make a new file by typingsudo nano /etc/usbmode.conf and paste the content of the above file there and save it using the CTRL+X command . And then type in terminal usb_modeswitch -c /etc/usbmode.conf . It should helpSTEP6: Connecting to Internet
STEP 7: In the dropdown enable(tick mark) mobile broadband and then click bsnl/cellone/3g ,it will connect automatically and show indication its connected
Repeat step 7 next time you want to connect again. The above details have been collected from many different sources and experimented by me and found working. However due to different hardware /software configurations, the above given methods might only work for 8/10 people who try this. In case it is not working post your error status here and hopefully someone will help to fix it…RelatedConnect raspberry pi to a 3g network automatically during its bootIn "Debian"Headless use of Raspberry pi on Windows / UbuntuIn "Debian"Installing OpenELEC mediacenter(xmbc) for raspberry pi using Ubuntu PCIn "Debian"

product 0*a706 is not dlink dwm 156 A6 hardware, so the before switch or after switch product id is different.do u see anything like /dev/ttyACM0 or /dev/ttyUSB1 or /dev/ttyUSB2 or /dev/ttyUSB3 when u connect the modem alone to kubuntu?if yes, the modem has been switched already and -P= a706. and if no, the modem has not been switched and -p=a706.have u edited the usbmode.conf file and replaced a80b/7d00 with a706 depending on the above findings? and if modem has been switched already try using wvdial or sakis3g script. its even efficient and light weight that normal network-manager(ubuntu 12.04)Reply

Hi LorentzThe first time I connected the adapter to my computer, and did lsusb, the output was:
Bus 002 Device xxx: ID 2001:a706 D-Link Corp.After I mode-switched, and tried lsusb, the output was:Bus 002 Device xxx: ID 2001:7d01 D-Link Corp.Since then, this output has been constant (7d01)If its of any help, I’ve put a SD card in the adapter, and when Iplug it in, I am able to access the contents of the memory card.Reply
o lorentz says:September 13, 2013 at 12:41 am
So mode switch is success.. so search for /dev/usbTTY0 or 1 or 2 etc.. if it exist.. install wvdial or gnome-ppp and use it..better than ubunty default gnome-network-manager..gnome-ppp for gui based configuration…its works on top of wvdial. Wvdial alone is terminal based control.. might wok..will post new steps in coming blogsReply

And in wvdial, where to specify apn name?Reply

Did u edit the /etc/wvdial.conf ? And save it successfully.. to save type ctrl+z and y .. once all these details are saved it
will connect. Install te latest version of usb-modeswitch. And recheck for the .conf file if data entered is correct.. also sendme a screen shot of the .conf file to my email. The username and password field should be and empty single space without “” or []..it just username:Password:Reply

Hi LorentzI have emailed you wvdial config file screenshot. Installed latest version of usb-modeswitch, restarted system and tried. I am getting same error with wvdial:OK–> Modem initialized.–> Configuration does not specify a valid phone number.–> Configuration does not specify a valid login name.–> Configuration does not specify a valid password.Reply

Kindly remove the ; symbol before all last 3 lines. And try it again.Reply

Hi LorentzRemoved the ; symbol at the start of each line. But still I get the msg:–> Configuration does not specify a valid login name.
–> Configuration does not specify a valid password.Looks like it is accepting the phone number now. I have put single space for username and password.Reply

Ok type the sudo mode-switch command mentioned..It will change from a80b to modem mode
lorentz says:October 18, 2013 at 8:25 am
Did u try the sudo usb-modeswitch command?? Try it after updatingmode switch to latest version..
13. iniyan says:October 10, 2013 at 1:26 pm
In case step 5 fails, then download this file and paste it to /etc . This file contains the message needed to be send to dwm 156 A6 hardware to internally switch the mode. In case u cant past it directly into /etc folder the make a new file by typing
sudo nano /etc/usbmode.conf and paste the content of the above file there and save it using the CTRL+X command . And then type in terminal usb_modeswitch -c /etc/usbmode.conf . It should help can u explain these steps… how to create / etcReply

I do not understand the problem clearly.can u pls rediscribe itReply

/etc is a folder in root directory / of linux. Type cd /etc in terminalReply

Hi! Your guide works great, but ony problem is when i remove the device and reconnect it the mode goes back to the initial one (Ubuntu 12.0.4). So it has be switched by typing the command eachtime. Can you suggest a way to make an executacle file which can work on the .conf file and do the switching just by a click.Reply
