using wvdial or NetworkManager while connecting on a USB 3g phone modem in India (on the Reliance GSM 3g network)

Hi,

I have been trying for several days to connect to a USB 3g phone modem in India on the Reliance GSM 3G network but without any luck. I am using an LG GD570 phone with USB set to Data Transfer mode. The bluetooth on this phone does not appear to allow for DUNS so I decided not to go that route.

While using NetworkManager, the modem is detected and there pops the usual "MobileBroadband connection made which even identifies correctly the provider", but nothing actually happens (and this connection can not be edited). So I create a new Mobile Broadband connection and put in the usual entries: APN: smartnet, plan Reliance but it does not even go to connect. NetworkManager refuses connetion almost instantly and that is that. I have tried changing the phone number from the default *99# to *99***1# and even #700 though I am not sure if the latter is for CDMA connections. Either way, it made no difference so I decided to try the wvdial route.

The output of lsusb and the output of dmesg upon attaching the USB cable are as follows:

for lsusb:

Bus 003 Device 122: ID 1004:6000 LG Electronics, Inc. Various Mobile Phones

OK, and that of dmesg:

[76131.772493] usb 3-1: new high-speed USB device number 15 using xhci_hcd
[76131.953471] usb 3-1: New USB device found, idVendor=1004, idProduct=6000
[76131.953483] usb 3-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=3, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
[76131.953488] usb 3-1: Product: LG Mobile USB Modem
[76131.953493] usb 3-1: Manufacturer: LG Electronics, Inc
[76131.955764] cdc_acm 3-1:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device


So, I created a /etc/wvdial.conf:

[Dialer LG]
Init2 = ATZ
Init3 = ATE0V1&D2&C1S0=0+IFC=2,2
Stupid Mode = 1
Modem Type = USB Modem
ISDN = 0
Phone = *99***1#
Init5 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","smartnet";
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
Username = reliance
Dial Command = ATDT
Password = gsm
Baud = 460800

I am told that the user name and the password are not important for GSM connections as long as something is present because that is all GSM checks for.

I then run sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf  and get the following:

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

ttyACM0<*1>: Max speed is 460800; that should be safe.
ttyACM0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 -- OK

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


So, it looks like all are on the correct track: so let me try

$ sudo wvdial LG
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.61
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATZ
ATZ
--> Sending: ATQ0
ATQ0
OK
--> Re-Sending: ATZ
ATZ
OK
--> Sending: ATZ
--> Sending: ATQ0
ATQ0
--> Re-Sending: ATZ
ATZ
--> Modem not responding.


I am not able to get out of this despite several edits to the /etc/wvdial.conf files. Any suggestions as to what is going wrong as well as what I should be looking at?

Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan
