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

NAME
uhmodem -- USB support for Huawei 3G wireless modem device SYNOPSIS
uhmodem* at uhub? ucom* at uhmodem? HARDWARE
The uhmodem driver supports the following adapters: Huawei E220 E-mobile D01HW E-mobile D02HW NTT DoCoMo a2502 DESCRIPTION
The uhmodem driver provides support for the Huawei 3G wireless modems and its variants. This type of device has multiple com ports. And some modems have own storage to contain its device driver (for Windows). The uhmodem driver can handle all of these functions on the device. When the device attached, it will attach multiple ucom devices. The former one is main com device to use communication with your network provider, and others are sub com devices to monitor the condition of data communication and/or network status. These com devices can be used simultaneously. The device is accessed through the ucom(4) driver which makes it behave like a tty(4). SEE ALSO
tty(4), ubsa(4), ucom(4), usb(4) HISTORY
The uhmodem driver first appeared in NetBSD 5.0. Separate from ubsa driver. BSD
