N73 as GSM modem
Information below is a summary from here, here and here.
lsusb gives me:
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0421:0486 Nokia Mobile Phones
so then I run
sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x0421 product=0x0486 sudo wvdialconf sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
and each time I want to connect I run wvdial. The result is:
WvDial<*1>: WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.56 WvModem<*1>: Cannot get information for serial port. WvDial<*1>: Initializing modem.

The pap and chap warnings can be avoided if i run sudo wvdial instead.
The problem is that after this, I still don’t seem to have connectivity, and I don’t know what else to try…
To connect to Vodafone Italia, my /etc/wvdial.conf file looks like this:
[Dialer Defaults]Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
Baud = 460800
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Init3 = AT+CGDCONT=,,"web.omnitel.it"
New PPPD = yes
ISDN = 0
Modem Type = USB Modem
Phone = *99#
Username = ”
Password = ”
you can do the same through gnome-ppp. press detect to find the modem, add init3 as above (init1 is invisible, probably because it’s always ATZ, and init2 is already as above), then add the phone number…
i found that it didn’t work with an empty username and password, but i added none none and it worked…
