Hi all,
After learning for a couple of days i figured out, about how to make the Reliance Netconnect work in Fedora 14. I had seen a lot of blog posts that explain how to acheive it from command line but this one is for the user who want to do it from the UI. Am a big fan of Windows. Ok, Here are the steps. Also this procedure assumes that the user has root previliges.
-
Connect your reliance netconnect USB Dongle to the computer.
-
From the taskbar -> System menu -> Preferences -> Select "Network Connections".
-
From the dialog, goto the mobile broadband tab, click "Add".
-
A dialog will appear listing the USB Dongle in the list box. As far as i know it should be either "ZTE ..." or "HUWAI....". Select it and click "Forward"
-
Select your contry as "India". (I guess Reliance Netconnect is available only in India, if not am sorry :) ). and click "Forward".
-
On the next page it will list the providers that are known. Select "Reliance" from the list of options and click "Forward".
-
It will ask to confirm the changes and click "Apply". Please do so.
-
Now it will ask for the Username and Password. Enter them and please remember to check the "Available to all users" option.
-
From the taskbar click on the Network Icon and then click "Reliance netconnect", and you should be getting the internet working through Reliance Netconnect.
Have a good time
