Internet thru E6 on Linux???

[Spidey]

I'm using Ubuntu and I want to access internet thru my ROKR E6, using advanced GPRS connection.

I can do it thru windows, but how do I do it on Ubuntu?

It detects E6 as a USB device but not as a modem.

Does anybody know how to do it???

It detects E6 as a USB device but not as a modem.

Did You switch the USB mode in "modem" position?
What lsusb (on Ubuntu) shows You?

How to use isusb?
Should I execute this command in the terminal window?

I'm not so much familiar with Linux.

yes!
type lsusb and enter on your computer in a terminal window.
you should see something like this:

I executed the command isusb, but it shows unknown command.

Now I remembered that it should have been Isusb and not isusb, as Linux is case-sensitive.

Will post the output when I boot to Ubuntu next time.

After isusb failed, I tried using wvdialconf (which I found in ScanModem)

It created a file /etc/wvdial.conf

 
Contents of /etc/wvdial.conf
----------------------------
[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = USB Modem
Phone = *99***1#
ISDN = 0
Password = ''
New PPPD = yes
Username = ''
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
Baud = 460800

I edited this file manually to change some properties.
I use vodafone and it says the settings as below;

 
Access Number  *99***1#
User name    <blank> 
Password     <blank>

For blank fields I've set them as '', as leaving it completely blank was giving error.
Is it Correct?

So, after making these changes, and setting phone to USB Modem.
I issued the command wvconf, and it gave the following output.

--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60
--> Cannot get information for serial port.
--> Initializing modem.

--> Auto Reconnect will be attempted in 5 seconds

After this, it was constantly reconnecting, with the same above error, "The PPP daemon has died".

Can somebody help me, what is does this error mean?
And if I'm missing something.

Well, I checked Isusb command on root terminal but still is shows this error,
"bash: Isusb: command not found"

[thopass]

Did you write small "L" as a first letter? If not - we know why bash screams, that he don't know this command
