When I connect my 3G USB modem to my laptop with 12.04, nothing shows up in Network-Manager. I tried method explained in this question, but nothing worked out.

My USB modem is being detected as USB MMC storage, similar to situation in that post. Both option 1 (creating script) and connecting through wvdial has failed. Option 1 had worked once but, it was getting connected through GSM, not through GPRS. When I try to connect through wvdial, it says no modem detected or busy.

Your assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

eject your device from terminal or disks.

1)you can find disks at search of unity.click to the cd rom of your modem and at left top you could find a triangle above a line at the center of three options. it will say "eject the medium in the drive". click at here.

2)In terminal, type eject & press enter

you could find your modem at nm after 12 sec

for your second question try refreshing/restarting the network manager from terminal using the command,

sudo service network-manager restart

press enter and type your password that is, you can stop restarting of your computer or replugin of your modem
