I have just bought a Beetel BG64 usb modem.
This modem is working fine on Win 7 but not in ubuntu 13.10 (saucy).

I have tried a lot, but still not working.I have posted the output of lsusb & usb-devices necessarily. Any suggestion will be helpful. Thank you in advance.

edit:

What I did:

• without attaching the dongle I pressed Ctrl+Meta+T, then typed:

mount /dev/sr  

And pressed Tab. This gave me the only suggestion,

mount /dev/sr0 

• Again I attached the dongle , then did the same, and the output is:

mount /dev/sr
sr0  sr1

• Now I pulled out the dongle from my machine and did:

lsusb

And I got the result:

Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0d8c:0201 C-Media Electronics, Inc. CM6501<br>

Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub<br>

• Then I connected it to the machine again and did the same, and got:

lsusb

• without connecting the dongle I did:

and got:

• Then I did:

sudo mount /dev/sr1 /cdrom/

got the output as:

• Finally doing:

nautilus /cdrom/

I got no .tar.bz2 or .deb so that I could make it or directly install its driver.

• In my gesture my device is (lsusb):

Ubuntu 13.10 (saucy)
GNOME 3.8.4 (Ubuntu 2013-12-05)
Kernel 3.11.0-15-generic (#25-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 30 17:22:01 UTC 2014)

OS Type Linux
GCC Version 4.8 (x86_64-linux-gnu)
Xorg Version 1.14.5 (17 December 2013 10:06:15AM)

More strangely this dongle does not show up my 2GB micro SD memory card.

Any help will be saviour for me.
Otherwise I would have to stick to Windows 7,
since without an internet connection ubuntu cannot even be upgraded.

——————————————————————-
With the dongle attached I started booting ubuntu, did the following and got:

Edit:

07/02/2014 04:56 P.M.

The issue is finally solved, I followed the complete instruction by Azker Mohamed, and the issue was already 99% solved, I give him many thanks, but for him, thanks would be insufficient appreciation, he helped me a lot.

By the grace of GOD, I suddenly discovered the following and issue is 100% solved:

1) Put the dongle plugged in,

2) Start the computer with ubuntu, it searches for the devices attached, although
you will not see the internal process.

3) Never Ever put a blank modem into any USB port, be equipped with a valid SIM card and
a freshly formatted (you can use Windows 7 also to format)
micro sd memory card. Be sure you have sufficient Internet balance,
at least 10 MB, I recommend 30 MB, which will be useful when we will be testing the connection.
Put both of them into the respective slots.
If your micro sd memory card is shown in the unity launcher, the problem is almost solved.

4) All the problem arises when your micro sd memory card is not shown in the unity launcher,
so manage to show it, here is the process:
Open Terminal by Ctrl+Meta+T then type

sudo mount /dev/sr  

then hit 'Tab key' twice at least. If you see the options like sr0 sr1 then your
card is detected but not mounted, you have to do it manually.
/dev/sr0 is generally DVD-RW Drive in my case, and /dev/sr1 is the required micro sd that all we need.
Don't close the terminal and do:
sudo mount /dev/sr1
If ubuntu says ' mount: can't find /dev/sr1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab ', don't get anxiety, its normal.
DO:

sudo eject /dev/sr1  

Your micro sd is immediately shown in the unity launcher, see it.

5) Now in the same terminal do:

sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x2020 product=0x0002  

close the terminal.

6) Start sakish3g and choose the following option one by one:
a) More Option -> Only switch modem (if applicable). See whether it only says 'Modem Switched',
if it says 'modem switched to 2020:0002' then there is surely some problem.
b) Only setup modem (Switch+load module+setup tty), if it says 'Modem setup residing on /dev/ttyUSB0.'
Then you have one more level of success. If it gives some warning message,
don't bother even. Its natural. It may ask you for your login password, submit it.

c) Only prepare modem (Setup+PIN unlock+Register Network+Update HAL),
if it says 'Modem on /dev/ttyUSB0 is registered to Unknown operator 40491.'
don't bother if any warning is shown.

d) At the top-right corner of your screen (between Ubuntu Cloud and the sound icon)
network manager applet is present, click to select 'Enable Mobile Broadband',
already you may see the name of your network provider.
Wait for a few minute, let the blinking radar sign stop,
then click the network provider's name e.g., Airtel, BSNL, AIRCEL etc.

e) Open Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Google Chrome, Chrome Browser etc., or open Software
Updater to check whether there are any updates available.

The Process is complete, but remember a few things:

1) You need the following programs:
lsusb, usb_modeswitch, wvdial and data files for usb_modeswitch.

2) For the first time you need a freshly formatted micro sd maybe formatted with Win7/XP, Linux etc.

3) You need a Valid connection (SIM card) with sufficient balance.

4) If you plan to use the usb-modem with ubuntu even after a few hour later, it doesn't matter,

you may not use it if you don't need it but plug it before booting,
then unplug after boot up and setting it up.
And again plug it when needed. Device is already set up in memory.
Ubuntu searches for attached the devices at boot time so plug the device earlier the boot,
if this not the case and you have just inserted the device while ubuntiu is running,
you may need to re-boot the pc.

5) If you eject the micro sd card after setting up, your modem is still usable if you re-plug it,
but you may need to do the following to access the micro sd drive in it:

sudo mount /dev/sr1  
sudo eject /dev/sr1 

Enjoy the internet.
