I have a USB Tata Docomo (USB Modem to connect internet) lsusb shows
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 05c6:9000 Qualcomm, Inc.
Did a lot of Googling etc on forums and seems a few people have been
able to use it.
1) http://ershadk.wordpress.com/2010/03/30/connect-tata-docomo-internet-in-ubuntu-9-04/

Though I followed steps as per above links but I could not get
internet running.I also installed usb-modswitch but that also seems
not to help.
/var/log/messages
shows
usb-modeswitch: switched to 05c6:9000 (Micromax: )
dmesg | grep tty
[ 0.000000] console [tty0] enabled
in /etc/usb_modeswitch.d there is no file with 05c6:9000 combination.
After this I did
root at abhi:~# modprobe usbserial vendor=0x05c6 product=0x9000
and then
root at abhi:~# wvdialconf
Editing `/etc/wvdial.conf'.

After this the connection which appears in my network manager when
ever I try to connect it does not connect.Do I need to install any
kind of dialer etc?
