Linux and USB Modem Internet connection

Open up a terminal from Applications -> Accessories. Type:

sudo gedit /etc/modules

In the /etc/modules/ folder there is a file modules.txt which is seen by the operating system at the time of booting and the modules which are written on this file are loaded.

At the bottom of the file, make two new lines, like this:

usbserial
option

Then close the editor program and save it. Reboot the computer and hopefully you’ll be right from now on!
