Reliance Netconnect USB card on Linux - Howto ============================================= The following worked for me on Ubuntu amd64 but should work for all the distros. Execute everything as root Check your card is recognized by the kernel Code: # cat /proc/bus/usb/devices ..... ..... T: Bus=02 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=05 Cnt=02 Dev#= 4 Spd=12 MxCh= 0 D: Ver= 1.01 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS=16 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor=12d1 ProdID=1001 Rev= 0.00 S: Manufacturer=Huawei Technologies S: Product=Huawei Mobile S: SerialNumber=HUAWEI EC3X1 C:* #Ifs= 2 Cfg#= 1 Atr=e0 MxPwr=100mA I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 3 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff Driver=pl2303 E: Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS= 16 Ivl=128ms E: Ad=8a(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms E: Ad=0b(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms I: If#= 1 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=ff(vend.)

Now modprobe the driver Code: # modprobe usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1001 Should get something like this with dmesg Code: # dmesg [ 2315.412106] usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial [ 2315.412508] drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for generic [ 2315.461938] usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial_generic [ 2315.461945] drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial Driver core [ 2315.480382] drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for pl2303 [ 2315.480414] pl2303 2-6:1.0: pl2303 converter detected [ 2315.480608] usb 2-6: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0 [ 2315.480620] pl2303 2-6:1.1: pl2303 converter detected [ 2315.480691] usb 2-6: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB1 Now edit your wvdial.conf file Code # vi /etc/wvdial.conf [Modem0] Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0 Baud = 115200 SetVolume = 0 Dial Command = ATDT Init1 = ATZ FlowControl = Hardware (CRTSCTS) [Dialer cdma] Username = You Phone Number Here Password = Your Password ... usually same as your phone number Phone = #777 Stupid Mode = 1 Inherits = Modem0 Now run wvdial Code: # wvdial cdma --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.56 --> Cannot get information for serial port. --> Initializing modem. --> Sending: ATZ ATZ OK --> Modem initialized. --> Sending: ATDT#777 --> Waiting for carrier.

Someone told me that the foreign ESN problem in TATA is because they are upgrading their systems or something. And it will be resolved soon. Anyone else can confirm this ?
