Connect Internet via USB E61 on Ubuntu

USB modem

On my system (kernel-2.6.18, udev-103) when I plug USB cable and selected PC Suite mode on my Nokia phone proper drivers are loaded and proper devices are created automatically. This is really how it should work! After phone is connected /dev/ttyACM0 device should be created.

If you have problems with it try to load drivers manually:

modprobe cdc_acm
modprobe usbserial vendor=0x0421 product=0x044d

now, wvdial configuration by:

sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
Editing `/etc/wvdial.conf'.

Found an USB modem on /dev/ttyACM0.
Modem configuration written to /etc/wvdial.conf.
ttyACM0: Speed 460800; init "ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0"

wvdial modem setup is also very simple (DTAC specific):

sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf

[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = USB Modem
ISDN = 0
Phone = *99#
New PPPD = yes
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
Username = dtac
Password = dtac
Baud = 460800

connect to ISP by calling this command:

vwdial

(to be continue with bluetooth connection...)
