sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x1c9e product=0x9605

Above is the code you should run to use your iBall 3.5G Modem, shame on iBall developers on saying no for something so simple.

It works, just you just have to run this command every time you start your computer

Don't forget to setup network connection before using it.

just in case if there is a new bee who is looking for this information following is a step by step method

  • Create a mobile broadband connection [choose connect automatically]
  • Run the following command:
sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x1c9e product=0x9605
  • Run dmesg to check the configuration of it, I don't know but it shows whether the above command was a success or not?
  • Run lsusb to check the usb devices
  • If its still not working then disable networking and enable it again.

If you are getting confused with terminal things as I was, do this

sudo lsusb -vvv> /tmp/usb_info

then,

go to /tmp/usb_info that document will show you, your usb devices and its information.
