I guess wireless means GPRS/EDGE/CDMA/UMTS here. You don't need any other driver, just the correct setup or ppp. From the messages you show it looks it dials correctly, even DNSes are set. Test the following:
Try to ping the DNS server:
ping 202.138.103.100
If it works, you're online. You may want to look into /etc/resolv.conf to see if the addresses were written to the file.
There's also one simple thing that may be wrong here. Routing. Run the 'route' command and look at the output. You should have an entry with 'default' in the first column and 'ppp0' in the last. If it's missing, run
route add default ppp0
(just for testing, you'd need to add it later to the configuration, but first check if that fixes the issue)

Yes, i dont have entires in the /etc/resolv.conf and in the route command.
After resolving these two issues i'm able connect to net.
