If you're using a HUAWEI modem - such as MTN's YelloLine, you need to get the USB-serial dongle working with Linux.

Newer versions of Linux use Hal & UDEV to handle devices and getting the modem in a state where your distro "sees" the modem is a simple 2-step process.

1. Edit /etc/udev/rules.d/50-rules and add the following line:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ACTION=="add", ENV{PRODUCT}=="451/3410/*", RUN+="/etc/udev /scripts/ti_usb_3410_5052.hotplug %p"

2. Copy the attached script to /etc/ udev/scripts/ti_usb_3410_5052.hotplug

Voila. When you plug in, your modem is seen as /dev/ttyUSBX (usually ttyUSB0)

Configure using your favourite tool - kppp, wvdial, etc.

3. (optional)
If you like your /dev/modem to be a permanent soft-link, then edit /etc/udev/static_devices.txt and add
modem l ttyUSB0

That's an L, not a ONE.
