Right-click the NetworkManager icon, found next to the Date/Time. Select "Edit Connections", then select the "Mobile Broadband" tab. The click the "+Add" button, a "New Connection Wizard" should start up. Input the proper info for your device and account. Edit: It is possible that your provider isn't listed. You will then have to select an existing provider, and edit it to create a new one. According to this blog, it should work out-of-the-box on 9.04: Reliance Netconnect Broadband+ (Wireless broadband) + Linux An Idea Here is some more info, if you use wvdial: How to use Reliance Broadband+ Netconnect with Ubuntu Linux - Reliance Broadband Plus - Mobile Broadband 3G India - Forum India __________________ Paul Please do not PM me with requests for help.

When you plug it in, a CDMA connection configuration box should pop up. I take it that this is not happening for you? This should be covered under the option driver, but the How-To link says to use the usbserial driver, loaded with the specific modems options. You can try, using your cards USB ID number. Code: sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x140b If you get an error after doing this, post the error here. You may then need to remove the modem and re-insert it. __________________ Paul Please do not PM me with requests for help. I will not reply.

Code: modinfo usbserial If it gives a location, look in that folder to see if it is actually there. __________________ Paul Please do not PM me with requests for help. I will not reply.
