Hello over there, here are some tips you could try: USB Modems have proven easier to install, at least based on my experience, first open the 'System Log', and follow 'kern.log', you could use 'dmesg' or directly check the log files, the idea is to check for creation of devices once you connect the USB Modem, if you are lucky the kernel has support for it and successfully creates the needed device, for example reading the 'kern.log' after connecting an USB Modem: --- usb 3-3: new full-speed USB device number 25 using xhci_hcd usb 3-3: New USB device found, idVendor=0572, idProduct=1340 usb 3-3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 usb 3-3: Product: USB Modem usb 3-3: Manufacturer: Conexant usb 3-3: SerialNumber: 12345678 cdc_acm 3-3:1.0: ttyACM0: USB ACM device --- in this case the modem is on '/dev/ttyACM0' then you could try 'sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf' again in my case, the beginning of '/etc/wvdial.conf' after creation with 'wvdialconf' reads: --- $ cat /etc/wvdial.conf [Dialer Defaults] Init1 = ATZ Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 Modem Type = USB Modem Baud = 460800 New PPPD = yes Modem = /dev/ttyACM0 --- if your USB Modem is supported then you don't need any additional drivers, you could tweak the system an linking '/dev/modem/' to '/dev/ttyACM0' for easier access or installing 'gnome-ppp' for easier configuration of your connection. The thing to check is the creation of the device for the modem in '/dev' give it a try, good luck!
