In one of my previous blog I have described how to configure Ubuntu 12.04 to use Micromax 352g Usb modem. But unfortunately this method is not working Ubuntu 12.10. But I have found another way to make same usb modem work in Ubuntu 12.10. First open terminal and run the following command: lsusb The out put will look something like this.

I am using Micromax 3G USB modem to access Internet for long time, and it was working fine with previous distribution of Ubuntu.

Fortunately I found a very simple solution and here I am sharing it. You have to just edit the /etc/modules file. Use this code $ sudo gedit /etc/modules and then add this two line at the end of the file usbserial option This has worked for me. Hope this will also solve your problem. Cheers APaul NB: If you are using Ubuntu 12.10 probably the above method is not working. Check this post for work around.
