Setting up my new 3G usb modem "D-Link DWP 156 in ubuntu 13.10
Solution 1
Switch to su
mode, plug-in your modem
type
lsusb
in terminal and note down the product id and vendors id mine wasBus 002 Device 012: ID 2001:7d0b D-Link Corp
. here product id is 2001 and vendors id is a403.type
/dev/sr
press tab twice. The last one is your modem. mine wassr1
.type
mkdir /media/cdrom
for creating the directorymount your device as cdrom. type
mount /dev/sr1 /media/cdrom
open the user manual for linux
type
eject /media/cdrom
for ejecting the usb device.type
modprobe usbserial vendor=0x2001 product=0xa403
for switching your device to modem (please pay attention to give your product and vendor id which was noticed by you in step 1)Wait for some seconds or disable and enable networking.
You can see your mobile broadband connection enable it and configure it with the help of manual which you opened in step 5
you have to mount the device to cdrom and eject it each time when you plug-in/reboot your system
Thats it..! you can see your d-link dwp modem blinking... but it may shows no range , never mind. you are connected now.!!!
Solution 2
For me this worked in Ubuntu 14.04 and Ubuntu 15.04 (Lubuntu).
run:
sudo apt-get remove modemmanager sudo apt-get install modemmanager modem-manager-gui
- run
./install.sh
(from LinuxModemShell folder of dlink drive) - run
./bin/RemoveModemManager.sh
(from LinuxModemShell folder of dlink drive) - When you open modem-manager-gui app, you should see device detected in modem-manager-gui.
Also you may need to try modprobe usbserial command to detect your modem

This USB modem has official support for Linux OS(Ubuntu 10.04 or above). I have tried all the methods shown on various sites but Nothing worked.
In the terminal I typed
isusb
and the output is as given below.lsusb Bus 001 Device 010: ID 2001:7d01 D-Link Corp.
I also tried to install the
3g_modem_connect_DTLW2_D300A_amd64.deb
file but it doesn't get install via software center.-
Panther about 10 yearsSounds as if you modem is incompatible with Ubuntu. You have not posted much information, can you identify the hardware (chip set) and specify what you tried?
