Here is a no nonsense quick guide for you to connect to Reliance Internet in Linux using LG / Nokia / Samsung CDMA mobile phone and USB data card/stick ?
1
Open terminal and give command –
# dmesg | grep ttyACM
If you get some output, fine. You can go ahead. (Else your Kernel is not ready. It means it require additional steps to enable USB module upgrade/recompile your Linux Kernel)
2
Give this second command in terminal as Super user.
# ln –s /dev/ttyACM0 /dev/mobile
Please note that 0 in ACM0 is ZERO (Number) and not O (character).
3
Give third command as super user :
# chmod a+rw /dev/mobile
4
Open gedit as super user, copy paste following code and save it as mobiles.rules file in /etc/udev/rules.d folder :
Content: BUS=="usb" SYSFS{product}=="Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM*" KERNEL=="ttyACM*" SYMLINK=="mobile" MODE=="666"
Now Start KPPP. You need to configure it. Click on Configure button to create a new account. Phone number will be #777 and User Name and Password both will be your mobile phone number. Further, you need to specify modem. For this, in KPPP Configuration window, Click on Modem tab, and click on New and then select /dev/ttyACM0 from dropdown list as your modem and click OK.
Now you are ready to connect to Internet through KPPP with this newly created connection.
