To set up a USB 3G modem connection please do as follows:

You need to load 'usbserial' kernel module with special parameter which is unique for your hardware vendor.

To find vendor and product ID, open console and run this command:

Code: Select all

lsusb

and you should get something like:

Code: Select all

BBus 003 Device 003: ID 0421:006 b Nokia Mobile Phones

most interesting values are: 0421:006

now you can load usbserial driver like in this example:

Code: Select all

modprobe usbserial vendor=0421 product=006

And then need to follow the instruction about mobile Internet connection with 'first step'
but in step number 6 you need to select /dev/tty/usb0 (prefix may be different, for example / dev/ttyUSB1)

Good luck!
