Unable to connect T-mobile dongle with Mint Linux

[Diedrick]

this is really very annoying . I am not able to use the T-Mobile dongle on my machine running on the Mint Linux. I call the T-Mobile support and even they were not able to solve the issue and in the end I was told that the Linux was not supported despite me having proof it has worked on another distro. I have updated everything on the my computer with update manager still having this problem. now I weak on the command line aspect so please help me to solve this issue I would really appreciate if this help

sudo wvdialconf

Look like a resource conflict. i think it is connection on the modem on ttyACM0, ttyACM1 & ttyACM1A.that is the serial device, you will need it once . Take a bit of the entry on the wvdial config.

The problem is that s what in /dev. if it’s something similar to a windows BIOS. I don’t want to start messing in that. And what do i leave? ttyACM0 perhaps? i'm too fresh at this to have much of an idea if I’m honest

well i opened wvdial.conf and get

[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Stupid Mode = 1
Modem Type = USB Modem
Phone = *99#
New PPPD = yes
ISDN = 0
Username = user
Password = user
Baud = 460800

[Dialer TMobile]
Init2 = ATZ
Init3 = ATQ0 V1 &D2 &C1 S0=0 +IFC=2,2
Init5 = AT+CGDCONT=1,”IP”,”general.t-mobile.uk”
ISDN = 0
Modem = /dev/ttyATC1
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Baud = 460800

The latter look as if it is correct but the above us the default setting

Can you tell me how are you trying to connect here are you doing it from the gnome network manager applet if not I suggest that you should use it that is the best option that I think

[ZAHAR]

Can you tell me which part is not working . does the device is not detected at all when you connect the T-mobile dongle. Is it possible for you to give the sudo lsmod , sudo ifconfig –a and sudo dmesg

I am connected to the gnone-ppp. And I already did that the small icon in the taskbar . great option to solve the conflict issue although I am not that sure how to sort that out . the command line throws up that strange error message I posted

through ppp? by way of your dongle plugged in, and when you right click that applet in case it be the in linux mint, then left click , choose edit connections and in the window that appear. You will see there will be a mobilebroadband tab, choose it and then press the put in connection button plus follow the steps.

Seems just fine to me. Replace the wvdial.conf to /dev/ttyATC0. And on the udev just leave ttyATC0. Save the rule if you need them . I as well like the 'new pppd' line, for the reason that that is most likely telling it to start a fresh instance anyway, which you just require if you have a few modems.
