I am trying to install my new D-Link USB Modem on Ubuntu 14.04. I followed these instructions (http://ftp.dlink.ru/pub/usb/DWM-157/Description/D-Link%20DWM-157%20Linux%20guide.pdf)
Except that there was no .tar.gz files. So I installed the .deb files, which instead. It seems like everything installed fine, because I did not get any errors:
(Reading database ... 176487 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack 3g_modem_connect_DTLW4_D310_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking 3g-modem-connection-dtlw4-d310a-amd64 (2.0.1EU) over (2.0.1EU) ...
Setting up 3g-modem-connection-dtlw4-d310a-amd64 (2.0.1EU) ...
Install finished
However when I try to setup my "Mobile Broadband" connection from Unity, the device does not appear on the list.
I have also installed usb-modeswitch, but it does not seem to make a difference.
After the installation ls /dev/sr* only shows
/dev/sr0
When I enter lsusb my device is listed as
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 2001:7d02 D-Link Corp.
The contents of /etc/3g_modem_connection/switch.conf is:
DefaultVendor= 0x2001
DefaultProduct= 0xa707
TargetVendor= 0x2001
TargetProduct= 0x7d02

I have also added my APN to /etc/3g_modem_connection/apn.dat

What am I missing here?

I recommend that you phone contact your regional D-Link support office and ask for help and information regarding this. We find that phone contact has better immediate results over using email.
Let us know how it goes please.
