3G modem detection
I am unable to detect my Micromax 3G USB modem I bought for MTNL connection in Ubuntu 9.04, though it automatically loads software already on the modem and works fine in Windows XP. Any guide on how to connect Internet using this modem?

Please post 'lsusb' ouput and 'dmesg | tail'
anyway, do you install wvdial? try 'wvdialconf' first (you might need to use sudo for command) cmiiw |
Here is the only piece I could find on it.
Linux support for BSNL 3g modem MMX300G Posted 07-12-09 at 11:37 AM by wprayalu Updated 07-16-09 at 01:01 AM by Admin Today I have successfully connected my BSNL 3g Modem (micromax -mmx300G) in Ubuntu linux. Actually the modem when connected will be detected as Virtual CD ROM. To use the modem u need to switch the device to usb-serial mode. The product ID will be different after switching mode. Just use the ID with modprobe command. Then u are done. Sure you will get the connection and u will be able do all that u can do with internet. If want any switching between GSM network and HSPA network, do the following: At extra initialisation comands just add the entry AT+COPS = 0,0,"cellone",0 ---- for GSM mode or AT+COPS = 0,0,"cellone",2 ---- for UMTS mode. Shortly I'm going to post complete set of details. |

Sorry I can not answer your question, hope someone will post with experience with this modem.

You can use USB_modeswitch to change it back to modem. Your modem now functions as ZeroCD.
Adding some info from usb_modeswitch.conf as to your lsusb output Code:
