Hey, thanks a lot. I tried this method and it worked. But the problem is that when I shut-down the computer and open it I find my network icon showing “no internet connection”. I have installed my ubuntu 10.04 on windows xp using wubi (as an ordinary software of windows).

How can I avoid so?
How can I automatically sign in when I start ubuntu?

Please help!!

I was just wondering if just installing usb-modeswitch will do ? Take a look at this.

once you install wvdial, run “wvdialconf” (without quotes) from the terminal, which will create wvdial.conf for you.

I have seen NetworkManager working for Ubuntu 9.04 version. Can you try using that.

Hi,
I installed usb-modeswitch adn usb-modeswitch-data on Ubuntu 9.04 64 bit. I tried firing wvdialconfig after that but still it says modem not detected.
Can you please let me know whether the above procedure works fine on ubuntu 9.04 64 bit?
Regards,
