I have Micromax 3G modem, and i inserted it in the USB port, but it is not being detected by Ubuntu 12.04, that i'm using from a Live USB. I tried creating a mobile internet connection, however, eventhough i created it, there is no option to connect. I had previously used 11.10 Ubuntu, and it had automatically detected the datastick modem and asked me to create a connection.

On typing lsusb in the terminal it gives the following:

**Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

tried to insert the modem before boot, with negative results
