| Sprint EVDO on ubuntu
I bought this Novatel V760, because is is claimed to work on ubuntu. There is a setup guide for Linux.

I'm stuck on step one.
sudo modprobe -r usbserial
.
.
.
FATAL: Module usbserial is in use.
What gives?

| well do you have your phone plugged in, something is using your usbserial so modprobe can't remove the module.
just skip the sudo modprobe -r usbserial and continue with installation or unplug what ever is using usbserial

The module(s) in the right column of the line beginning with "usbserial" are loaded modules currently using usbserial.

Ok, after rebooting I don't get that error any more.
Step 2.
sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=[0x1410] product=[0x6000]
FATAL: Error inserting usbserial (/lib/modules/2.6.28-13-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/usbserial.ko): Invalid argument

Smyrna, GA | Shooting from the hip. Try removing the square brackets in your command. (At least I don't see square brackets in a similar modprobe command for a different usbserial device I use.)

| Yea, that was it....  stupid.
Ok so, I completed the set up. I tested, and am able to query the modem.
I'm still having problem connecting. Log shows:
ATZ
OK
ATM1L1
OK
ATX3
OK
ATDT#777
CONNECT
At the bottom of this windows it says "Starting pppd"
The Connect to: window says "Logging on to network"
It just sits there unchanged. It doesn't quite finish the connection.

| Looks like the modem device is working for you. It answered AT (attention) commands, and you even made a connection to the other end.
Did you configure a pppd connection somewhere with a userid/password for the login?

| The only connection I made was following along the manual, I pointed to in my original post. According to the manual, no username or password is required. It did say to input something so that kppp would not come back with an error. I uses "user" "user" as in the example.

| Without having a modem or service like yours, I'm struggling here based on what I have seen using other dial-up modem sessions. Unless you typed that "CONNECT" yourself after the "ATDT#777", then I presume that it response came from the modem to tell you that after it dialed "#777" that the other end answered, the modems negotiated, and the modem responded ultimately with the keyword "CONNECT" as opposed to other possibilities like "DID NOT ANSWER". "CONNECT" is good.
I believe you are close. The modem appears to connect, but I believe you are not going to the next step and logging in with a ppp session that authorizes what ever service you are logging into. But I am afraid somebody who knows more about your actual service is going to have to help you from here.
