linux-howto

http://unix.stackexchange.com – I was trying to install Arch Linux with 3g modem. Previously downloaded usb_modswitch and wvdial and their dependencies. Booted acrh and installed them. Then copied my ubuntu's /etc/wvdial.conf in arch. Then I connect with wvdial and it says connected, modem indicator also says connected. But it is actually not! ping www.google.com says unknown host! The modem is HUAWEI E1550 (From a provider in Bangladesh). (HowTos)

When I connect my 3G USB Modem to my laptop with 12.04, nothing shows up in Network-Manager. I tried method explained in 143989, but nothing worked out. My usb modem is being detected as USB MMC storage, similar to situation in that thread. Both option 1 (creating script) and connecting through wvdial has failed.

I am using wvdial to connect to 3G network.

Sample conf is below. I want to add an if clause. If the Serial Number of the device is not my serial number it should not connect. Serial number can be shown by AT+CGSN.

How can I implement such "if ( AT+CGSN == 123456789 ); then" clause using wvdial? Can I?
