I have Linux Mint 16 Petra installed and I have a Micromaxx MMX354G 3G Datacard. It used to work perfectly in Win 7 but in Mint 16 the device is not even detected. I have other Modem of Hauwei EC150 which works fine with Mint 16. Why the Micromaxx device is not being detected? Do I have to install other drives?
---Thank You!

Re: Linux Mint 16 Not detecting 3G Modem.
It is not working because it is mouted as USB SCSI CDROM. The easiest way to switch to modem mode is by ejecting the CDROM . The easiest way to switch to modem mode is by ejecting the CDROM :
if this does not work try:
Wait for a few seconds and your dongle should show up in the modem manager. Set up your network and add the above command line to startup apps for future use.

If you want to establish a 3g mobile broadband autoconnection/ reconnection on Linux Mint follow the below tutorial at:
Solution 1:
1- create a shell script as follows (Replace "Tunisie Télécom / TUNTEL WEB DATA" with the name of your Mobile Broadband connection name):
2- Save it and give it execution permission then add it to Startup Applications.
Now it will connect automatically at startup and if connection is dropped.
Solution 2 :
1- get the attached script below
2- extract it to your home folder (or somewhere safe) and make it hidden by placing a dot before it like this .network-autoconnection.sh (so that you won't accidently delete it)
3- Give it execution permission like this: rightclick on it, go to "properties", then navigate to "permissions" then tick "Allow executing file as program"
4- go to the Mint menu and type "startup applications"
5- click on "add" then "browse" opposite to "command" field to give the directory of the script (your home folder or wherever you've placed it) then give it a name in the "name" field, for example mine is "Tunisie Télécom / TUNTEL WEB DATA".
That's it guys!
