There has been queries on connecting the USB Net Connect dongles (Of Reliance, Idea, Airtel etc.).
Those using windows, have to struggle with 'Loading drivers from CDs', configuring etc. etc.
In Linux, especially Ubuntu and Mint, it is fairly simple. No playing around with Driver CDs :-) Here is the procedure (Same for Reliance, Idea, Airtel etc)
Step One: Just plug it in (Of course on a booted machine running Ubuntu or Mint - Not the C-DAC BOSS Linux-OS being used in some Offices!! :)
Step Two: Go to “Preferences>Network Connections> Mobile Broadband”. It should detect “Auto Mobile Broadband CDMS connection”
Step Three: Select the connection to add phone number “#777″ (for reliance and Idea) and you username/ password, both of which should be your 10 digit phone number (read it off from the purchase document!!).
Step Four: That is all.Choose the connection from notification area and enjoy.
In case it does not work. just try the following command on the terminal (you can also use this instead of the above steps!)
“sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf” which will detect the modem and install it for internet connection.
Easy - is not it??
