Please try the following steps. It  worked for me in ubuntu 8.04. The
exciting thing to note is in Ubuntu 9.10 I could connect it with any issue.
The only thing i had to do is Plug the device then double click on the
network icon in the tray and edit values in the "mobile broad band" section
. Done !!!
*But When I tried the same in Ubuntu 9.10 beta its not working...When i
googled the issue I found that it is a known bug.. And I hope it will be
solved by time of actual release........*

*Ubuntu 9.10 is releasing Today ! Download and try in it ...*

BSNL CDMA WLL INTERNET CONNECTION PROCEDURE IN
LINUX<http://heman-hemanathan.blogspot.com/2008/08/bsnl-cdma-wll-internet-connection.html>

HERE i will give you the procedure for connecting the internet in linux
using BSNL CDMA WLL dial-up conection using data cable (usb to usb or usb to
serial)

1. Connect your cdma wll phone using data cable and then switch on your
phone

2. Set the Always on option for data in the phone

3. Now boot your machine in Linux Operating System

4. Login as *root* user

5. Open the terminal it looks like command prompt..
to open the terminal it may vary depending upon the various linux operating
systems mostly it will be in the system tools

6. Issue the command *wvdialconf* it will search for the modem devices in
your machine

7. If it displays the modem found at ttyUSB0 or some thing like that then
there is no problem for you in identifying the modem then skip to *step
no.12*

8. If it displays no Modem found then you have load particular driver
modules into the kernel for detecting your modem

9. Type *lsusb* in the terminal it will display the devices that are
connected in the usb ports

10. Look for your phone device there
it displays like below ...

*[root@localhost ~]# lsusb*
*Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub*
*Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub*
*Bus 002 Device 002: ID 15eb:0001 *
*Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub*
*[root@localhost ~]# *


11. HERE 15eb is the vendor id and 0001 is the product id

Now create the rules file named as /etc/udev/rules.d/50-cdma.rules

procedure for creating a file

In the terminal type *vi /etc/udev/rules.d/50-cdma.rules* and press *Insert
key* for typing the rules in to it

*SUBSYSTEM=="usb",SYSFS{idproduct}=="0001",SYSFS{idVendor}=="15eb",RUN+="/sbin/modprobe
usbserial vendor=0x15eb product=0x0001"*

*SUBSYSTEM=="usb",SYSFS{idproduct}=="0001",SYSFS{idVendor}=="15eb",RUN+="/sbin/modprobe
ppp_generic"*


now press *ESC* key and type *:wq!* and then press enter ro save and quit
reboot the system and give the command wvdialconf now the modem gets
detected and gives some thing like this


*[root@localhost ~]# wvdialconf*
*Editing `/etc/wvdial.conf'.*

*Scanning your serial ports for a modem.*

*Modem Port Scan<*1>: S0 S1 S2 S3 *
*WvModem<*1>: Cannot get information for serial port.*
*ttyUSB0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- OK*
*ttyUSB0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 Z -- OK*
*ttyUSB0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 -- OK*
*ttyUSB0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 -- OK*
*ttyUSB0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 -- OK*
*ttyUSB0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 -- OK*
*ttyUSB0<*1>: Modem Identifier: ATI -- ERROR*
*ttyUSB0<*1>: Speed 9600: AT -- OK*
*ttyUSB0<*1>: Max speed is 9600; that should be safe.*
*ttyUSB0<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 -- OK*
*WvModem<*1>: Cannot get information for serial port.*
*ttyUSB1<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- �**ܺ�**[10]*
*ttyUSB1<*1>: failed with 2400 baud, next try: 9600 baud*
*ttyUSB1<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- failed with 9600 baud, next try: 9600 baud*
*ttyUSB1<*1>: ATQ0 V1 E1 -- and failed too at 115200, giving up.*

*Found a modem on /dev/ttyUSB0.*
*Modem configuration written to /etc/wvdial.conf.*
*ttyUSB0*
*[root@localhost ~]# *


12. Open the file wvdial.conf by giving the command as follows for editing
and configuring the connection

*vi /etc/wvdial.conf* and press *Insert key* for typing

add the following script in to that file

*[Dialer BSNL]*
*Inherits = Modem0*
*Init1 = ATZ*
*Init3 = AT+CRM=1;+CPS=33;+CMUX=1;+CTA=0*
#the above line is only for htl phone this is the extra initialization
commands according to your #phone you can add your own initialization
commands

*Stupid Mode = 1*
*Phone = #777*
*Area Code = 044*
*Username = *
*Password = *

*[Modem0]*
*Init3 = ATM0*
*Init1 = ATZ*
*SetVolume = 0*
*Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0*
*Baud = 460800*
*FlowControl = CRTSCTS*
*Dial Command = ATDT*


in the above script use your username and password for establishing the
connection

now press *ESC* key and type *:wq!* and then press enter ro save and quit

13. In the terminal issue the command as *wvdial BSNL*

now you will be able to get connected to the internet ...

14. To get disconnected from the internet press *Ctrl + C*


I think this will be very useful for connecting internet in linux through
mobile or using cdma wll phone or usb modem like the reliance Netconnect and
Tata's Plug and surf connections..

If you have any doubts you can post your comments so that i can clear all
your doubts...
