Hi,
My dongle works out-of-the-box in Ubuntu but I can't get it to work in Arch Linux.
I followed the instructions from this site: http://www.vivaolinux.com.br/dica/Modem … s-no-Linux

# modprobe usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1c0b
But when I run wvdialconf it can't find the modem:
Editing `/etc/wvdial.conf'.
Scanning your serial ports for a modem.
Sorry, no modem was detected! Is it in use by another program?
Did you configure it properly with setserial?
Please read the FAQ at [url]http://alumnit.ca/wiki/?WvDial[/url]
As a result I'm stuck with Ubuntu for the time being. ;( Any help would be very appreciated.
Edit: running sakis3g after doing the above I was able to connect but I'd still love to know how to to make it work manually with wvdial.
