    Sony Ericsson w508 as modem in kubuntu

    Hi,

    I have a Sony Ericsson w508 mobile phone and it works perfectly as a modem in Windows (using its propietary Sony's software); I'd like to use the mobile as a modem under kubuntu but it's not working.

    I've tried wvdial, my .wvdialrc is as follows:

    [Dialer Defaults]
    Init1 = ATZ
    init2 = AT+CFUN=1
    Init3 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
    Init5 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","adslmovil"
    Stupid Mode = 1
    Baud = 460800
    New PPPD = yes
    Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
    ISDN = 0
    Phone = *99#
    Password = <mypassword>
    Username = <myusername>
    Dial Command = ATDT
    Remote Nane = "*"

    When I try to connect, I get the following:

    --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60
    --> Cannot get information for serial port.
    --> Initializing modem.
    --> Sending: ATZ
    ATZ
    OK

    --> Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
    ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
    OK
    --> Sending: AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","adslmovil"
    AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","adslmovil"
    OK
    --> Modem initialized.

    --> The PPP daemon has died: A modem hung up the phone (exit code = 16)
    --> man pppd explains pppd error codes in more detail.
    --> Try again and look into /var/log/messages and the wvdial and pppd man pages for more information.
    --> Auto Reconnect will be attempted in 5 seconds
    --> Cannot get information for serial port.


    Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance!

    Re: Sony Ericsson w508 as modem in kubuntu

    I haven't tried wvdial, but I'm having trouble getting a USB tethered 3g phone to work in kubuntu 9.10. have seen a few posts here from people with the same problem (and different phones) but no response as of yet.

    FYI the tether works perfectly using kde linux mint 8 (rc)
