Reliance Netconnect USB card on Linux - Howto

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.) Sub=ff Prot=ff Driver=pl2303

E: Ad=06(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms
.....

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

[ 2315.480691] 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.
ATDT#777
CONNECT 230400
--> Carrier detected. Starting PPP immediately.
--> Starting pppd at Sat Mar 3 22:55:20 2007
--> Pid of pppd: 24314
--> Using interface ppp0
--> local IP address 220.226.50.126
--> remote IP address 97.239.2.10
--> primary DNS address 202.138.103.100
--> secondary DNS address 202.138.96.2

Thats it ... you are now connected
Ensure that your internet traffic goes through your "Modem"
In Ubuntu ... this can be done @ System->Administration->Networking
