Yeah it might be truth,Ubuntu or other linux products supports some hardware gadgets including your ETS2251 modem. But up to this point I did talk about windows hardware detection not the software environment. Most hardware vendors releases their products that supports to run on windows platform (which is directly focuses on hardware).

    Thanks for the replies.
    I have used the same connection sometime back in Ubuntu 8.04 with a software "Salutis Connect" & it worked fine.

    But, Ubuntu 9.04 is upside down! :confused:
    I am verymuch confused :(

    Most Mobile Broadband devices should be recognised automatically when you connect them to your computer. Ubuntu will prompt you to configure the device.
    1. The New Mobile Broadband Connection Wizard will open automatically when you connect the device.
    2. Click Forward and insert your details, including the country where your Mobile Broadband device was issued, the network provider and type of connection (for example, Contract or pre-pay).
    3. Give your connection a name (it is up to you what name you choose) and click Apply.
    4. Your connection is now ready to use. To connect, left click the NetworkManager icon in the top right of the panel and select your new connection.
    5. To disconnect, left click the NetworkManager icon in the top right of the panel and click Disconnect.
    If you are not prompted to configure the device when you connect it, it may still be recognised by Ubuntu. In such cases you can add the connection manually.
    1. Right click the NetworkManager icon in the top right of the panel and click Edit Connections...
    2. Select the Mobile Broadband tab.
    3. Click Add.
    4. This should open the New Mobile Broadband Connection Wizard. Enter your details as described above.

    I got that Mobile Broadband Wizrd & I set it up for dialog, but, It does not connect :(
