Have you got a problems to GPRS / GSM / CDMA modem installation? And you will use it to Internet broadband connection or SMS Center. So you can try this way
- Plug the USB Modem
- Detect it. See in /var/log/message. Are there usb log detected?
- Find the Bus Device
with root mode, please type:lsusbexample
root@bimosaurus:~# lsusb
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 12d1:1003
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
You can see the different ID, and you has detect it - Load the Module
root@bimosaurus:~#modprobe usbserial vendor=0×12d1 product=0×1003
Dont forget to include the hexa what you get from lsusb
- Check it from dmesg. If you can see the attach device as ttyUSB0 ttyUSB1, you have success to detect device
root@bimosaurus:~# dmesg |tail
usb.c: registered new driver serial
usbserial.c: USB Serial support registered for Generic
usbserial.c: Generic converter detected
usbserial.c: Generic converter now attached to ttyUSB0 (or usb/tts/0 for devfs)
usbserial.c: Generic converter detected
usbserial.c: Generic converter now attached to ttyUSB1 (or usb/tts/1 for devfs)
usbserial.c: USB Serial Driver core v1.4
usb.c: USB disconnect on device 00:03.1-1 address 2
usbserial.c: Generic converter now disconnected from ttyUSB0

You can use this way in : Billionton, Wavecom, Vodafone, ZTE, Huawei etc. Telkomsel Flash, IM2 modem include product also can use this way.
