Dear All,
My device is EC1260 HSIA USB modem. This HOW-TO should work on CentOS, RHEL and Fedora
These are the summarized steps taken from various sites on RHEL 5.4.
1) Download and Install usb-modeswitch from here
2) Stop All network services
service network stop
3) Remove all USB storage devices
rmmod usb_storage
4) Open a terminal, and run tail -f /var/log/messages, plugin Tata Photon+ and see is it is detected properly.
5) lsusb | grep HUAWEI (or your USB internet device like Reliance, MTS, Vodafone etc) should list HUAWEI something
6) modprobe usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x140b
I have taken vendor and product details from output of lsusb in previous step.
7) usb_modeswitch -v 0x12d1 -p 0x140b -H -W
My modem is a Huawei Modem, so I chose -H for huawei mode. You could look into the /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf to try out various permutations for your modem.
8) wvdialconf /etc/wvidal.conf
9) wvdial
You will see some DNS servers after some lines
10) Put these DNS servers in /etc/resolv.conf as
nameserver X.X.X.X
nameserver X.X.X.X
11) Now, ping google.com to check if all well
12) To stop internet, killall wvdial
If you people still face issue, post your comments/issues here, I will try my best to help you out.
Hope this helps.
