I just bought this card and detects under Linux as a serial device but wvdial is unable to query the modem. Anyone got it working under linux ? Any drivers known to work for this card under linux ?

I have tried a lot but not able to configure this card on linux.
I was able to do so with my previous siarra aircard on linux, but there is no help available till date for linux.

Two steps to enable ZTE MC315 CDMA 1X Reliance.

Step 1. Insert the card and do dmesg as root
output : 0.0: ttyS0 at I/O 0x2e8 (irq = 3) is a 16C950/954

Step 2. edit /etc/wvdial.conf

[Dialer Reliance]
Modem = /dev/ttyS0
Baud = 57600
SetVolume = 0
Dial-AT-OK ATDT Command =
Init1 = ATZ
FlowControl = Hardware (CRTSCTS)
Phone = #777
Username =
Password =
New PPPD = yes
Carrier Check = no
Stupid Mode = 1

Before running wvdial Reliance do following

The trick is simple - you have to play with the UART and the baud_base.

Just run setserial on your machine and it will give the following output for UART and baud_base

* uart set UART type (none, 8250, 16450, 16550, 16550A,
16650, 16650V2, 16750, 16850, 16950, 16954)
* baud_base set base baud rate (CLOCK_FREQ / 16)


What i did was that i kept on changing my UART and kept the baud_base as 230400. When I changed my UART to 16550A. And i got connected to the internet running wvdial Reliance

1. login as root
cat /etc/wvdial.conf

[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyS3
Baud = 57600
SetVolume = 0
Dial-AT-OK ATDT Command =
Init1 = ATZ
FlowControl = Hardware (CRTSCTS)
Phone = #777
Username = xxxxxxxxxx
Password = xxxxxxxxxx
New PPPD = yes
Carrier Check = no
Stupid Mode = 1


2. create a file "reliance" with entry as show below:
cat reliance

setserial /dev/ttyS3 baud_base 230400
wvdial


3. run "reliance" from root

4. The /var/log/message will show

Add dns address in /etc/resolv.conf
cat /etc/resolv.conf

I have tested, this technique on RHEL4AS,and Ubunto. And on both os was itt was working good.

Some time while running "reliace" , it not get ip in first run... so you may have to run it again and again, till u get connected.
Make sure that u have setserial rpm installed.

mailbhupal & manojjha,
Thanks a lot for your post. It took me about 3 minutes to do these get connected - most of the time I wasted since I didn't setserial uart 16550A. I am posting this from Ububtu Fawn running on dell lattitude d620 (from Live CD!). I cannot imagine such versatility with any other os than Ubuntu.

manojjha, maybe you could include the "setserial uart 16550A" more explicitly in your post ?

Dear Sir,

Thanks for such a detailed explanation but i wanted to ask tht can i connect the same card in linux red hat ent. edition????? if yes then fine if no then please guide for this op. also. thanks again
