How To Connect,Configure Reliance Data Card In Ubuntu 9.04,Basic setting for reliance internet card in ubuntu version 9.04

Installing Reliance netconnect broadband+ internet on Linux (ubuntu 9.04):

Step 1: Make sure you have root login enabled. To see a step by step guide, visit:
Step 2: Login as root.
Step 3: Find the product and vendor id of your device. To do this, first open a terminal window and then
type this:
lsusb
Keep a note of the contents; the output will be somewhat like this:
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 008 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 005 Device 002: ID 147e:1000
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

Now plug-in your usb reliance netconnect modem, and after about 10 seconds (this is to give enough
time for your device to initialize) run 'lsusb' again. Note the output again. This time the output should
look something like:
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 008 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 007 Device 008: ID 19d2:fff1
Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 005 Device 002: ID 147e:1000
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

Note the difference in the previous two outputs. The 3rd line from the top tells you the vendor id and
product id -- you will have different Ids:
19d2 is the vendor id, and fff1 is the product id.
Step 4: The information collected above has to be entered into a special file now -- you will have to first
edit the file /boot/grub/menu.1st (numeral '1')
This file contains kernel options that may be needed while booting your Linux.
CAUTION: Take a backup of this file somewhere before editing it.

Now prefix 0x (that's a zero followed by small X and not o -- you might have to type this as copying it
from here doesn't seem to work) to both vendor id and product id, and create the following string:
“usbserial.vendor=0×19d2 usbserial.product=0xfff1"

This string now has to be added at the end of your default kernel options -- in fact, the string that
you have created will become a default kernel option. Add this line at the end of default options in
your 'menu.1st' file. Search this file and find out the text that looks like the text below:
title Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-11-generic
uuid b9135a09-8127-46cb-a3a4-034f8d726f4c

splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-11-generic
quiet
title Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-11-generic (recovery mode)

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-generic root=UUID=b9135a09-8127-46cb-a3a4-034f8d726f4c ro single
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-11-generic

uuid b9135a09-8127-46cb-a3a4-034f8d726f4c
kernel /boot/memtest86+.bin
quiet

Now edit this text to make it look like the following:
title Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-11-generic
uuid b9135a09-8127-46cb-a3a4-034f8d726f4c

splash usbserial.vendor=0×19d2 usbserial.product=0xfff1
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-11-generic
quiet
title Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-11-generic (recovery mode)

initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-11-generic

quiet

Note that you have just added the string you created earlier as the last kernel option --.by the way,
these are the entries that you see in the boot menu when you switch on your system.

Step 5: Remove your usb modem, restart your system; and again login as root.
Step 6: Now open terminal window and plugin your usb modem. Wait for around 10 seconds and then
type:
dmesg

Note the last text output. It should be something like:

If you get similar output, then you are almost set. You have just crossed the last major hurdle -- your usb
modem has been configured for use. What you need now is to set up a connection which will use your
usb modem.
Step 7: To proceed from here, you would need “wvdial“ installed on your machine. If you do
not have it, then install it. Either download from a different pc, or connect your system to an alternate
internet connection (maybe wifi or ethernet connection) and then type the following command in the
terminal window:
"apt-get install wvdial"

Step 8: You will now need to edit this file:
/etc/wvdial.conf
Modify its contents so that it looks like:
[Dialer Defaults]
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = Analog Modem

ISDN = 0
Username = ########## #(enter your 10 digit phone number in place of # and remove this text)
Init1 = ATZ Password = ########## #(enter your 10 digit phone number in place of # and remove this
text)
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Baud = 3686400
Phone = #777
stupid mode = 1

Your Net connection is now ready for use!
Step 9: Use your internet.
This is all; you have configured your Linux to use reliance netconnect connection.
You no longer need to be logged in as root to use your internet connection. To connect, just type the
following in a terminal window from any user:
sudo wvdial
You will get the following kind of output on the terminal window:
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60
-->Cannot get information for serial port.
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATZ
ATZ
OK
--> Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
OK
--> Modem initialized.
--> Sending: ATDT#777
--> Waiting for carrier.
ATDT#777
CONNECT
--> Carrier detected. Starting PPP immediately.
--> Starting pppd at Thu Apr 30 11:07:30 2009

--> pppd: W X`
--> Using interface ppp0

--> pppd: W X`
--> secondary DNS address 202.138.96.2
--> pppd: W X`
--> pppd: W X`
--> pppd: W X`
This means you are connected to the net.
To disconnect, press CTRL+C.
