Tell exact model. you can find it with:
lsusb
command when modem is connected.
Cheap made in china modems are problematic generally. They even do not have driver department sometimes.
after installin suselinux on my vmware runnin on vista, i tried connectin my modem to the linux but it refused to work with it. I went back to vmware and installed the modem through the usb option tab. Afterwards,i noticed that i was seein the modem name and memory card, i could also access the content of the card but the modem still didnt work.
wat exactly is the problem and how can i resolve it?
It is an huwei usb modem.
