setting up motorokr E6 for Airtel GPRS using data cable in Ubuntu 8.04

[rockinwdrockr]

Hello friends,

Kindly help me resolve the problem. I am unable to setup motorokr E6 to use mobile gprs in ubuntu8.04LTS. I am having a PC with following Specification:
AMD Athlon 2800+ 64 Bit processor with 1 GB RAM & 80GB hard Disk. I Live in India and use airtel connection for internet through mobile. In windows XP it's very easy to setup mobile internet. Earlier i was using Nokia 7610 and configuring it for ubuntu was very easy.

Just after connecting it to PC through data cable and using the following the command mentioned below i had configured it:

$ lsusb
$ sudo /sbin/modprobe usbserial vendor=0x(VID) product=0x(PID)
$ wvdialconf create

and then i got the result as:

Scanning your serial ports for a modem.

ttyS0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- failed with 9600 baud, next try: 115200 baud

Found an USB modem on /dev/ttyACM0.
Modem configuration written to create.
ttyACM0<Info>: Speed 460800; init "ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0"

than edited my Wvdial file like this

$ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf

[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Stupid Mode = 1
Modem Type = USB Modem (also tried as Analog Modem)
Phone = *99#
ISDN = 0
Username = A
Password = B
Baud = 460800


save and exit



than I type this

$ wvdial

than this appeared

and net was working.


But with Motorokr E6 it's not working with these commands.

Can anyone please assist me how to configure it step by step.

I don't see any change in the files even if you are changing the phone.
Did you set the phone to USB Modem.
Check if the Modem is detected by using lsusb command


I connected Internet on Ubuntu 8.04LTS thru E6 with Vodafone Advanced GPRS service.
