Mobile Broadband Connection doesn't work (USB adapter Olivetti Olicard 300)

[tommy]

Hi eveyone, i've recently bought a mobile broadband adapter, the model is "olivetti 21.1"
First i tried to setup the adapter using the native network manager, i added a new connection and i choosed "mobile broadband" as type.
In the next dialog window,(note that i'm not able to choose the device i want to use to create a connection), i go to the next steps then i complete every step till the end of setup but my usb adapter doesn' connect. (The light on the usb is green which means the sim and the signal are ok).


As second try, i've googled for something similar to my problem and someone seemed to fix the issue unistalling modemmanager, (so did i) and using sakis 3g, but i can't connect even with it, as after settin up modem and choosing the interface #2 the program prints out "modem respondend ERROR while checking for PIN"






When i plug in the usb adapter the OS doesn't mount it and apparently it's not possible to do it, so i'm thinking the problem is linked to this. Here i post my lsusb output:

My USB broadban adapter ID is 2020:4000.

Can anyone help me? I've just discovered linux lite and i love it, i don't want to use another OS just to make this usb adapter work.
