thankx Jagnadh, But this was the very first thing that i did, the buggy network manager of karmic dosen't react after making these settings and plugging the usb modem.. :(
That's why i tried to configure wvdial. I checked the modems vendor id and product id through lsusb and then run modprobe with them. Then i configured wvdial.conf file and ran sudo wvdial. But its showing that /dev/ttyUSB0 dosen't exists. I confirmed that by running dmesg | grep tty, and there was no ttyUSB0 or any tty for that matter except console tty. Is there any other way to force karmic to create one such tty when the usb modem is plugged.
