How to configure a wireless modem
I bought a wireless modem from '' 3 ''.
It has software for Windows users.
I talked to their support center.
They know nothing about Linux.
In Ubuntu, I looked at System --> Administration --> Network
I have to click the unlock in the dialog.
It recognized wired connections; there were 3 wired connections.
That is wrong; because the modem from '' 3 '' belongs to wireless family.
I have inserted 2 network cards and on top of that there is a built in network card on the motherboard.
You just connect the modem to the USB port; it simply looks like an ordinary USB module. It is the latest modem from '' 3 ''.
Firefox can't find websites. That means configuration is wrong.
Some of you may have configured Ubuntu 8.04 LTS with a wireless modem.
I need your help.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I can go to the Internet with my regular broadband connection which has 24MB data transfer. So the Internet works on that computer though it has 3 network cards. I have already downloaded the 'k3b' program. I have installed Ubuntu on a separate computer which I use for testing purposes. I am writing here using a different computer. I am using open SuSE 11.0

UMODEM(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual UMODEM(4)
NAME
umodem -- USB modem support
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:
device umodem
device ucom
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
umodem_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The umodem driver provides support for USB modems in the Communication Device Class using the Abstract Control Model. These modems are basi-
cally standard serial line modems, but they are accessed via USB instead. They support a regular AT command set. The commands can either be
multiplexed with the data stream or handled through separate pipes. In the latter case the AT commands have to be given on a device separate
from the data device.
The device is accessed through the ucom(4) driver which makes it behave like a tty(4).
HARDWARE
Devices supported by the umodem driver include:
o 3Com 5605
o Curitel PC5740 Wireless Modem
o Kyocera AH-K3001V Mobile Phone(WILLCOM)
o Kyocera WX320K Mobile Phone(WILLCOM)
o Metricom Ricochet GS USB wireless modem
o Sierra MC5720 Wireless Modem
o Yamaha Broadband Wireless Router RTW65b
o ELSA MicroLink 56k USB modem
o Sony Ericsson W810i phone
SEE ALSO
tty(4), ucom(4), usb(4)
HISTORY
The umodem driver appeared in NetBSD 1.5. This manual page was adopted from NetBSD by Tom Rhodes <trhodes@FreeBSD.org> in April 2002.
BUGS
Only modems with multiplexed commands and data are supported at the moment.
