In Ubuntu 10.04 , broadband+ device is detected as usb storage.To make it detected as modem we will use usb-modeswitch package. It is a Switching tool for controlling "flip flop" USB devices.
Need to Install follwoing tools.
A. usb-modswitch
B. usb-modswitch-data
Commands to install:-
1. sudo apt-get install -yq usb-modeswitch usb-modeswitch-data
2. wget -c http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/u/usb-modeswitch-data/usb-modeswitch-data_20100127-1_all.deb
3. dpkg -i usb-modeswitch-data_20100127-1_all.deb
For 64 bit :
4. wget -c http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/u/usb-modeswitch/usb-modeswitch_1.1.0-2_amd64.deb
5. dpkg -i usb-modeswitch_1.1.0-2_amd64.deb
For 32 bit
4. wget -c http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/u/usb-modeswitch/usb-modeswitch_1.1.0-2_i386.deb
5. dpkg -i usb-modeswitch_1.1.0-2_i386.deb
Once you install both packages, you should have the modem detected and then use networkmanager to configure it.
