how to get your ice.net d50 modem to work on ubuntu

A quick little how to on how to get your d50 modem to work on Ubuntu. I used the d50 on my laptop my entire summer vacation and it worked perfectly!

The basic setup

sudo apt-get install wvdial
cd /media/NMT_D50v2301/Linux/
sudo ./RDEVCHG
ls -la /dev/ttyACM*
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 166, 0 2008-04-23 09:31 /dev/ttyACM0
echo "--> D-50 Linux Connectionn"
rm -rf D-50config wvdialconf_log
wvdialconf D-50config > wvdialconf_log
echo "Carrier Check= nonStupid Mode= yes" >> D-50config
echo "Phone = #777
Username = cdma
Password = cdma" >> D-50config
rm -rf wvdialconf_log
echo "--> Dialing...n"
wvdial --config D-50config

Make a shortcut

To do this manually is kind of a bore, so I made this executable and made a shortcut to it on my desktop:

cd /media/NMT_D50v2303R2/Linux
sudo ./RDEVCHG
#path to your execute.sh file, in this case bin/:
cd /home/<yourusername>/bin/
sudo sh execute.sh

In the shortcut command field, just enter:

sudo sh /home/<yourusername>/D-50.sh
top
