This post gives the magic (but somewhat kludgy!) recipe.
The big challenge was to find a way to give the modem the SIM PIN to unlock it.
To actually get the USB stick to work, here is what I did:
- Install the usb-modeswitch package.
- Use the following command to flip-flop the device to modem mode:
sudo usb_modeswitch -v 0x0fce -p 0xd103 -O 1
- Install wvdial to interface with the modem and set up ppp.
The modem's PIN caused problems with the Gnome Network-Manager that Ubuntu uses by default.
Here is the wvdial.conf file for the modem for access to Rogers:
wvdial.conf
To fire it up, use something like:
sudo wvdial rogers-pin
- Rogers-nopin stanza is used if the modem has already accepted its PIN.
- Rogers-PIN enters the PIN to the modem but is otherwise the same.
- "Auto DNS" means that wvdial will take the DNS from the ISP and update resolv.conf.
- Obviously you replace "nnnnn" by whatever the modem's PIN actually is.

possibly a dumb question but how do I find out the pin for my device??
rogers-nopin solution worked great for me since I didn't configure any pins yet on my sim card.
I can finally browse wherever I want, thanks!
sounds promissing, I'll give it a try now.
I've been struggling with that modem since I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04.
sudo usb_modeswitch -v 0x0fce -p 0xd103 -O 1
