How can i Use BMG CS-09 EVDO Modem in ubuntu 14.04?

Question

Bus 003 Device 004: ID 05c6:1000 Qualcomm, Inc. Mass Storage Device

is shown, but it says modem not detected.

My modem:

• Network type: CDMA 1X-EVDO , USB2.0 Connector
• Quad-band: CDMA 800/1900MHZ

Answer 1

It is detecting it as mass storage and the driver is not loaded.

For Your device issue following commands: first find the id of your device issuing lsusb command in terminal

lsusb

If your output looks like this

Bus 003 Device 004: ID 05c6:1000 Qualcomm, Inc. Mass Storage Device

Then use modprobe to change from USB mass storage to modem or i.e provide driver with following command

sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x05c6 product=0x1000

After this your modem will be detected, according to your desktop environment use your networkmanager to connect,

To check the status of your device you can issue following command

dmesg

There will be GSM modem instead of mass storage....

This works for me on Ubuntu 14.04:

1. Download and unzip config-pack to /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/
2. Reboot computer.

My modem is active after about one minute.

1. eject the CD-ROM as it automatically got attached

   eject sr1
   

2. modeprobe for kernel provides driver for modem

   sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x05c6 product=0×6000
   

3. WVDIAL utility to connect using our modem, configure it by editing the /etc/wvdial.conf with content as below (make sure to change your username and password).

   [Dialer Defaults]
   Init1 = ATZ
   Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
   Modem Type = Analog Modem
   Baud = 460800
   New PPPD = yes
   Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
   ISDN = 0
   Phone = #777
   Password = YOUR_USERNAME
   Username = YOUR_PASSWORD
   stupid mode = 1
   

4. Do step 2, 3 in 1-2 second interval, or Modem will get passive.
