Cannot setup USB Modem in Linux. Help!!

[hotshot05]

I have the Prithvi branded BSNL EVDO modem.


This is the guide that I followed - How to Connect to Internet from BSNL EVDO Prithvi UE100 modem in Linux(Ubuntu)

In that guide, he was using Ubuntu but I am using Linux Mint 13 (Mate edition). That should not cause any problem since Mint is based on Ubuntu.


After I insert the modem, after sometime on clicking on the Network Manager icon in the system tray, I can see this -

Since it shows BSNL EVDO connection, I am assuming that Mint is detecting the modem.


But when I enter wvdialconf in the terminal, I get this output -

mint@mint ~ $ wvdialconf




Editing `/etc/wvdial.conf'.




Scanning your serial ports for a modem.

Sorry, no modem was detected! 


Is it in use by another program?




Did you configure it properly with setserial?

What should I do now?

if you see the modem in the network manager, just click it and a window to configure the connection will come.
