unmount the memory card device. And you really shouldn't be publishing the IMEI & IMSI numbers – Sathyajith Bhat – 2012-04-25T16:05:43.090

At last it works after many tries .

Linux mint 12 detected the device finally as a data card after doing the following steps.

  1. Connected the data card to Laptop usb port and Laptop is connected to broadband already.

  2. I clicked update manager icon from task bar and it scanned all hardware & software.

  3. Repositories are checked and software packages upgraded automatically.

  4. Now the data card has been detected and works well ,i am so surprised because i didn't download or install any software regarding my data card . The Update manager done job automatically when i connected via broadband in my home .

  5. Now i am able to setup my mobile broadband option in network settings .
