Hi,
in ubutu 9.04 I can't change wvdial.conf for the telephone number and username & pass word. Whenever I want to do that it says i don't have permission.
Though I'm the only administrative user.
I've installed all the file as per ur post.
But I'm unable to execute the following command in terminal.
$sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x05c6 product=0x3197
However in wvdialconf it finds the modem in /dev/ttyUSB0
can you please tell me how to solve this problems
You should be able to open wvdial.conf if you use sudo mode, I don't see any reason why you can't.
As for the modprobe line, it can't be executed in 9.04 because the module is built-into the kernel now, so you must pass kernel parameters.
Refer to the updates post here for details.
Simply Great... Just like to share some thing. The full code in wvdial.conf should be like
[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Phone=#777
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Username = waps
Password = waps
Stupid Mode = 1
Modem Type = cdma
