Edit the file /etc/wvdial.conf as root user and add your username, password and ISP phone number(Your isp that you use to connect), then add a line "Carrier Check = no", "Stupid Mode = yes" to the /etc/wvdial.conf file and save it. Then, as root user do # wvdial and it should attempt to connect to the internet with that information that you have input into the wvdial.conf file. If all is well you should see something like CONNECTED and some numbers (nameservers ) add these numbers to /etc/resolv.conf and you should happily browse with your shiny new USB modem. Hope this helps.
