Setup mobile broadband on linux

Setup mobile broadband on linux

I am using sony ericsson k790i with Aircel(India) connection. To setup mobile broadband on my linux (BackTrack 4) laptop, i done following steps.

Step1. I plugged my mobile to my laptop (using usb data cable).
Step2. I issued command wvdialconf which detected usb modem of my mobile and created conf file /etc/wvdial.conf
         root# wvdialconf
        root# more /etc/wvdial.conf
Step3. I edited /etc/wvdial.conf and ensure following entries in file. You may found most of entries already present in file.
           root# vi /etc/wvdial.conf
               [Dialer Defaults]
                    Init1  = ATZ
                    Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
                    Init3= AT+CGCDONT=1,"IP","aircelgprs","",0,0
                    Modem Type= USB Modem
                    Phone = *99#
                    ISDN = 0
                    Stupid Mode=1
                    Password = blank
                    New PPPD = yes
                    Username = blank
                    Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
                    FlowControl=NOFLOW
                    Baud = 460800

(Remember that aircelgprs is my APN and username and password is blank)

Step4. Now issue command wvdial and after few messages my laptop get connected to internet.
