Thanks

[...] Making something to work on Linux will sometimes becomes hassle. It will be even frustrating if the manufacturer don’t have support for linux. My fellow blogger Thejesh have written an “How to” on making Reliance netconnect USB card to work on Linux. Here it goes, completely extracted from his post (http://thejeshgn.com/2008/01/12/reliance-netconnect-usb-card-on-linux-howto/): [...]

I have Ubuntu and a Reliance NetConnect. I am new to Linux (but a techie).

I tried the first command, and password is asked. I entered the password of the login I had used (admin powers), but no characters appeared, and so the pwd was incorrect. What am I doing wrong?

Did you mean you tried “cat /proc/bus/usb/devices” and did not get anything?

Hi Thej,

I am trying to use Reliance ZTE CDMA 1X Modem MG880 with Ubuntu 8.04.
I tried steps as given below. (I am new to Ubuntu) Please help me to make this work.

santo@santo-notebook:~$ cat/proc/bus/usb/devices

bash: cat/proc/bus/usb/devices: No such file or directory

So I tried sudo gedit /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh

and made changes like

# Magic to make /proc/bus/usb work
mkdir -p /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs
domount usbfs “” /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs -obusmode=0700,devmode=0600,listmode=0644
ln -s .usbfs/devices /dev/bus/usb/devices
mount –rbind /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb

After this I restarted my HP notebook.

Hey thanks.. your article really helped me, following the same thoughts, I have compiled a list of steps for someone to follow on Ubuntu to get this working:

http://www.atiwari.com/articles/2009/10/reliance-netconnect-zte-ac8710-on-ubuntu/

I got some error after setting the modprobe.
That is the output of the dmesg -

APIC error onCPU1: 00(40)

@Santosh : 

I connected successfully netconnect mg880+ but on another day i tried the same “wvdial”, it didn’t work so i issued command “wvdialconf” but it says:
