Hello here is a method for connect usb modem in linux system.
Dear All,
I've created step by step process to configure the TATA/Reliance modem over linux..Pls go thru the link
I used this method to configure TATA photon+ but I hope similar way will also work for Reliance NetConnect Brodband+
Huwaie/ZTE Modem
Command Mode:
1) Check your NetworkManager rpm for Correct Installation
rpm -qa grep Network
NetworkManager-glib-0.7.1-8.
git20090708.fc11.i586
NetworkManager-0.7.1-8.git20090708.fc11.i586
NetworkManager-gnome-0.7.1-8.git20090708.fc11.i586
The rpm should be atleast as above or higher.
2) Set SELinux in permissive mode and switch to ROOT user or you can also use sudo..
setenforce 0
su -
3) If wvdial is not installed already, you've to install it from Fedora Repository.
yum install wvdial
4) Run below command, it will detect your modem....
wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
If this command can't detect your modem then try below commands
i) lsusb -v grep -i iManufacturer
The above command will help you to know the manufacturer of you modem and to get its vendorId and productionid.
ii) lsusb -v
From above command search the vendor id and product id your of modem and execute the below command
iii) modprobe usbserial vendor=XXXXXX product=XXXXXX
This command will load your modem
Now run the command given in step 4.
5) Now open /etc/wvdial.conf file in your favourite editor. I used vim for this purpose.
vim /etc/wvdial.conf
Change your username and password with internet/internet. Save and exit.
6) Now try below command..
wvdial
ATDT#777

cp /etc/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf.org
echo "nameserver 202.138.97.193" >> /etc/resolve.conf
You can also add some global DNS

8) try to ping any site
If you get the response then you are all set for the modem, ENJOY SURFING with high Speed
GUI Mode:
Right Click on the Netowk icon on your status bar
