−This is by far the simplest way to configure a USB modem to connect to internet. No additional drivers or software are necessary.<br>
−* Plug your USB Modem into an USB port. The LED light starts blinking and in a while once your modem is recognized you will be able to see an option – New Mobile Broadband (CDMA) connection/New Mobile Broadband (GSM) connection on clicking the Network icon just besides the sound icon on top panel.<br>
−* Once you click that, you will see this screen which will show your device name. Click ‘Continue’ on the dialog.<br>

−* In the next screen select country as ‘India’. This will help Ubuntu list Indian service providers in the next screen.<br>

−* In the ‘Choose your Provider’ screen select your service provider. In case it is not listed (BSNL EVDO is not listed) enter it manually in the space provided. In case of EDGE/GPRS/3G connection the service providers list will be long.<br>
