hi All,

I am new in Linux world.

New and already using Debian. Wow!

I have just purchased the tata's SCX-1080 USB internet data card, but unable to access internet.

I have Debian at home, so my question is how can this USB internet data card work on Debian?????

In old version there is wvdial.conf file which contains the require information to work internet on linux. but in newer version of Debian Lenny I cannot see that file.

How to install wvdial in Debain or newer version of Linux without internet connection if there is any way to do that?

As mentioned earlier, look for the packages in your DVD. First do an 'apt-get update' as root. Then as root, do 'apt-get install wvdial'.

I have also tried dpkg -i wvdial .deb packeage, but it's not working. I have also checked the fstab and log file, pc cannot detect the data card. How can I over come from this problem?

fstab? After installing wvdial, run the following command as root 'wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf'. After the wvdial.conf file is written, edit it and replace the username and password part with 'internet' for both. If it gives problems, use a computer with internet and search for the exact script in google.
