@Santosh :

I connected successfully netconnect mg880+ but on another day i tried the same “wvdial”, it didn’t work so i issued command “wvdialconf” but it says:

vijay@vijay-desktop:~$ sudo wvdialconf Editing `/etc/wvdial.conf'.


Scanning your serial ports for a modem.
ttyS0: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- failed with 2400 baud, next try: 9600 baud

ttyS0: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- failed with 9600 baud, next try: 115200 baud

ttyS0: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- and failed too at 115200, giving up.

Modem Port Scan: S1   S2   S3   
Sorry, no modem was detected!  Is it in use by another program?

Did you configure it properly with setserial?

Please read the FAQ at http://open.nit.ca/wiki/?WvDial

I got some error after setting the modprobe.
That is the output of the dmesg -
usb 1-1: USB disconnect, address 2
APIC error onCPU1: 00(40)
