Vinay,

The configuration for my USB modem from BSNL on Ubuntu is working. The wvdial.conf file should be as below. After you copy this to /etc/wvdial.conf you'll need to run the wvdialconf again to get the setup right.

[Dialer Defaults] Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 Modem Type = Analog Modem Phone = #777 ISDN = 0 Username = my username Init1 = ATZ Password = my password Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0 Baud = 460800 Auto DNS = off Auto Reconnect = on dns = 208.67.222.222 dns = 208.67.220.220 Stupid Mode = 1

regards,

Harish

HI all,

We are trying to connect a Reliance data card (new model - EC121) to Ubuntu 8.04 and we are not able to. I have used reliance other USB cards before with linux and configuring it was not a problem.I've pasted below the details of the things we tried, can you guys please help us? The Main problem is that *modem is not getting reconized. *This is due to the fact that device has usb storage to store windows driver etc. as well as modem. Due to this Linux kernel drivers get confused.

We tried using USB mode switch too, but it didnt work. Can you please let us know if what we are doing is correct?

checked $ lsusb gedit:11314): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed. root@leena-laptop:/home/leena# lsusb Bus 007 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 006 Device 002: ID 05a9:2640 OmniVision Technologies, Inc. OV2640 Webcam Bus 006 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 004 Device 004: ID 12d1:1411 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. Bus 004 Device 003: ID 045e:0084 Microsoft Corp.

then tried to do modprobe root@leena-laptop:/home/leena# modprobe usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1411 root@leena-laptop:/home/leena# but gving me nothing.

I updated wvdial.conf with following info [Modem0] Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0 Baud = 115200 SetVolume = 0 Dial Command = ATDT Init1 = ATZ FlowControl = Hardware (CRTSCTS) [Dialer cdma] Username = my Phone Number Password = and Password Phone = #777 Stupid Mode = 1 Inherits = Modem0

then thr' terminal tried to connect to card by $ wvdial cdma (gives me following) --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60 --> Warning: section [Dialer cdma] does not exist in wvdial.conf. --> Cannot open /dev/modem: No such file or directory --> Cannot open /dev/modem: No such file or directory --> Cannot open /dev/modem: No such file or directory

*Problem here is modem not getting reconized. *This is due to the fact that device has usb storage to store windows driver etc. as well as modem. Due to this Linux kernel drivers get confused. Then I searched more on problem got to know about "usb_modeswitch", http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/ Tried steps there but still nothing is working for me. Has anyone tried to use reliance EC121 for internet connection pl. help...

Dear Prabodh,

First to start with, i would suggest you gather some students and conduct sessions to make them understand "what is free software". let them organise into free software advocates in the college and then you can plan various activities. the students themselves can arrange topics of interest. there are lot of people in this group who can help u in handling these sessions.
