Thanks Ring I am describing all the steps starting from scratch


Step 1)
I bought a USB modem and lsusb shows
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 05c6:9000 Qualcomm, Inc.

Step 2) Following is /var/log/messages when I connect the USB modem (
usb-modeswitch was not present when I connected initially )

http://paste.ubuntu.com/651054/

Step 3) Now I after some Googling came to know  i usb-modswitch so
installed usb-modeswitch (via synaptics)
and connected the USB modem to laptop the color of light  changed green

Step 4) and /var/log/messages after usb-modswitch was installed
http://paste.ubuntu.com/651053/

Step 5) and lsusb showed

Bus 002 Device 003: ID 05c6:9000 Qualcomm, Inc.

Step 6)  but I noted here even after installing usb-modswitch the config file

/etc/usb_modeswitch.d/05c6\:9000

was missing so I created the file  as given on following link
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=93562

 the file /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/05c6\:9000  contains

DefaultVendor=  0x05c6
DefaultProduct= 0x9000

TargetVendor=   0x05c6
TargetProduct=  0x9000

MessageContent="5553424312345678000000000000061b000000020000000000000000000000"

(can also see it here http://paste.ubuntu.com/651056/)

and I verified it ,if it is working by following command


Step 7)
root at bond:~# usb_modeswitch -W -c /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/05c6\:9000
the output of above command is
http://paste.ubuntu.com/651057/
and the problem of above output I note is line no 110,111

USB error: error sending control message: Broken pipe
Error: could not get description string "product"


Step 8)
Now being sure of the fact that modem has been detected on my system
 I did
modprobe usbserial vendor=0x056c product=9000

Step 9) As per this blog
http://ershadk.wordpress.com/2010/03/30/connect-tata-docomo-internet-in-ubuntu-9-04/
I had created a new connection in
System-->Preferences-->Mobile Broadband-->Add ----here I had added Tata Docomo

you can see the corresponding snapshots here
https://picasaweb.google.com/107404068162388981296/MicromaxMmx372GUsbModemConnectionProblem


the connection option in antenna applet for this new mobile broadband
connection on system tray did appear
but upon selecting it was not able to connect to internet.

Without installing usb-modeswitch this option was not coming.So I
think some thing did  proceded but not fully.



I have also tried using wvdialconf and wvdial and they have also not
been able to work.
The wvdialconf output was following
http://paste.ubuntu.com/651058/
wvdial.conf by above was ----> http://paste.ubuntu.com/651061/
and attempt to dial using wvdial resulted in following
http://paste.ubuntu.com/651060/

Some thing is still missing because of which it could not connect to Internet.
What is that,this is not clear to me.
