wvdial

Now download and install wvdial from http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/wvdial

Re insert modem and wait for a few seconds
run lsusb to see that product is fff1
run the sudo modprobe command as above
Run wvdial configuration by the command

sudo wvdialconf

Let wvdial conf finish

a new file /etc/wvdial.conf is created

now change permissions on file wvdial.conf

sudo chmod 777 /etc/wvdial.conf

now open wvdial.conf for editing

delete all below the line Init2

[Dialer Defaults]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0

and paste the following

Modem Type = USB Modem
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
New PPPD = yes
Baud = 9600
;ISDN = 0
Phone = #777
Username = your reliance modem telephone number without 0 at beginning
Password = your reliance modem telephone number without 0 at beginning
Stupid Mode = 1

Enter your username and password and save the file

Now create an empty file on the desktop and name it as say net.sh

Paste the following in the file and save

lsusb
echo “\n\n=== checking for vendor 0x19d2 product=0xfff1 above … ===”
sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x19d2 product=0xfff1
echo “\n\nModprobe done …\n\n”
sudo wvdial

Change the file permissions for execute by right click=>Properties=>Permissions=>Allow executing file as a program
