I have asked you to run lsusb to know your modem type cause i am using CanarGo not Sudani mDSL.

My result after running lsusb is :

Code:

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 16d8:6803 CMOTECH Co., Ltd. 
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

Notice: The third result is my CanarGo modem and CMOTECH is the manufacturer of the modem & your modem manufacturer is Qualcomm or at least the chip manufacturer.

Your modem driver name is ZTE AC8700 and it have problems with the new Network Manager in Karmic koala & this bug have not been assigned to any developer until now so for the mean time the bug can still disturbing us but no problem.

Cause the problem is from Network Manager so your driver is ok but we need another way to access it.

we can Gnome PPP (modem dialup too)

let's roll:

1- Install Gnome-PPP :

Code:

sudo apt-get install gnome-ppp

2- Open Gnome-PPP from : Applications >> Internet >> Gnome-PPP

3- Click Setup.

4- Change /dev/modem to /dev/ttyS0 & click Detect it will recognise your modem automatically.

5- Close this window and enter your username, password and phone number to enjoy surfing again.

Sorry you need to do one more thing (make it run as Root) Gnome-ppp uses Wvdial and it needs to access it as Root so do the following:

1- Right click on Application menu & select Edit Menus.

2- From the left select Internet then select Gnome-PPP & click properties you will get Launcher properties screen.

3- In Command change it to gksudo gnome-ppp instead of gnome-ppp.

4- I think after this step you will need to enter the setting again for Gnome-PPP.

5- Done.

I hope this will work for you ( Insah2 allah ).
