Before you start
Ensure that you have installed wvdial, usbmodeswitch and usbmodeswitch_data
# dpkg -l | grep wvdial
# dpkg -l | grep modeswitch
Install it from your ISO or any other source. Be careful about the proper version is installed.
Be sure that USB driver modules are loaded.
# lsmod | grep usb
This should show that USB Serial driver is loaded
# usbserial 36911 2 option,usb_wwan
Load it if not.
# modprobe usbserial
Tata photon+ Huawei EC1561 Manufacturer ID 12d1 Product ID 1446
$ sudo su -
Connect your dongle
# lsusb
This should show the device as
Bus 003 Device 009: ID 12d1:140b Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. EC1260 Wireless Data Modem HSD USB Card
# modprobe usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1446
# usb_modeswitch -I -W -c /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/12d1\:1446
Run wvdialconf. Then make it to look like the one below. This is a simple configuration. I will show you how to add both Tata Huawei EC1561 and MTS ZTE together at the bottom of this document.
[Dialer Defaults]
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Phone = #777
ISDN = 0
Username = internet
Init1 = ATZ

Now dial to connect...
# wvdial
That's it - you are now connected to the internet. You can create the Connection in GUI through System -> Preference -> Network connection
The file /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/12d1\:1446 may not exist by default depending on your USB ModesSwitch pkg. Create it with the entries as shown below.
