4. There are some dependencies mentioned above the download section without which Wvdial will not function properly. So you can download them and install before installing Wvdial. (They are of small downloading sizes )

5. Now all you have to do is double click .deb file you just downloaded & install will proceed quickly.

6. In case your Linux version (Backtrack or Ubuntu) do not support direct deb file installation open Terminal

put this line of code for installing package.

dpkg -i  package.deb

Here package.deb should be replaced by filename you downloaded.

7 Last step would be to open Wvdial – input your credintial to login to your broadband ISP & start using the wireless broadband services easily.

Once you do this you don’t have to repeat procedure next time.
