Reliance Netconnect Broadband+ on Linux

  • It works. Make sure while purchasing you inform them that you use Linux
  • It’s fast and reliable in Pashan, Pune area
  • Below config worked for me on Ubuntu 9.10 AND 10.04
  • There are Linux drivers on the CD but I could not get it working on Ubuntu 9.10.
  • For activation, I had to use Windows :(

sudo apt-get install usb-modeswitch wvdial

vi /etc/wvdial
