Linux How to dial a DSL connection with Wi-Fi connected modem

I use BSNL Broadband and use the Siemens SL2_141 modem.

In my laptop(while using Windows 7 and XP), I connect to the modem via Wi-Fi and then dial a connection which contains my Broadband username and password.

But in Linux Mint 9, I am not able to make it detect my modem in Gnome-PPP or using wvdialconf.

I know that I can use PPPoE mode and store my username and password in the modem and make it connect to the internet automatically but I will have to change to Bridge mode again when I am using WIndows as I can see the usage of the session instantaneously using that mode only.

It is very irritating to change my connection mode again and again.

Please suggest, how to get my modem detected???
 
when using linux, what is the output of following commands?

1)

Code: 
 $ sudo pppoe-start

2)
Code: 
$ ifconfig -a

3)
Code: 
 pppoe-discovery

also, try pinging IP address of your router(usally 192.168.1.1) from you linux box. see if you get a reply.
