Please check if you have usb_modeswitch (or usb-modeswitch) installed, and if not, install it and the usb_modeswitch-data package. If they are not included in the CenOS repos, which is highly unlikely, you can download them from http://draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch. Plug your modem in, wait for a moment for it to settle, then run as root "usb_modeswitch -I -W -c /path/to/usb_modeswitch.conf" Substitute the actual path in the command above. Check your dmesg output to see if the modem has been attached to /dev/ttyUSB0 etc. or to /dev/gsmmodem. Also check lsusb output to see if the device is listed. Then, modify a wvdial script to use the modem and run it to start your connection. Your username and password both will probably be "internet". The number to dial for 3G is *99# usually, and for EVDO it is #777. If usb_modeswitch is already installed and your network manager gui is not providing you the settings for Tata Docomo 3G, you should still update the package so that the latest information is available to the system.
