Error while configuring LAVA 720G data card
 
I recntly purchased LAVA 720G data card [in for form a USB dongle]. After attaching card to the laptop I tried the following:
Code:

[sudeep@myhost ~]$ lsusb
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub

Bus 002 Device 005: ID 093a:2510 Pixart Imaging, Inc. Optical Mouse
Bus 002 Device 007: ID 1c9e:9605

and then, after a little digging, I tried:

Code:

modprobe cdc_acm
modprobe usbserial vendor=0x1c9e product=0x9605

then,

Code:

[root@myhost etc]# ls /dev/ttyUSB*
/dev/ttyUSB0  /dev/ttyUSB1  /dev/ttyUSB2

and,

Code:

[root@myhost etc]# wvdial bsnl
--> Sending: ATDT*99#
--> Waiting for carrier.
ATDT*99#

So as you can see, I cannot connect to internet. What could be the problem?

Hi,

I have the same datacard and using Airtel 3G currently. Can someone please help me connect this data card on Linux Mint12 (Lisa)?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I am finally able to use Lava 720G with LinuxMint12.

It automatically detects the mobile broadband and I was able to configure my Airtel 3G and access internet successfully.
