I have a problem connecting to internet using ZTE MF100 modem with wvdial. Modem is being disconnected, when pppd tries to go through IPCP part. See /var/log/messages below:

Here is my wvdial.conf:
[Dialer Defaults]
Init3 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = USB Modem
Phone = *99***1#
ISDN = 0
Username = erainternet
Init2 = ATZ
Password = erainternet
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB2
Baud = 460800
Stupid Mode = 1
New PPPD = yes
Dial Command = ATD
Carrier Check = No
SetVolume = 0
FlowControl = NoFlow

[Dialer era]

Init5=AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","erainternet";

And /etc/ppp/peers/wvdial:
defaultroute
noipdefault

Will be grateful for help

related in any way? post 7403824

ZTE USB modems need firmware? --> /lib/firmware

I think hardware wise my modem is working, as ttyUSBn devices are created and modem responds fine to AT... commands from wvdial. Module zte_ev (this is what you link to in your post) is not loading by default when I plug the modem stick to USB, but I have tried with it and without this module and pppd problem is there all the time, unfortunately.
