Installing Reliance LXU-800 USB Modem on Fedora 9.
July 15, 2009 |
Tired up with installing Reliance LG LXU-800 USB modem on Linux? I spent lot of time to make it working with my Fedora 9 OS. It works very well with Windows XP and Vista. A dialler application is available on CD from the vendor for Windows. But most of the users think it will not work under Linux. I do not tested it other than Fedora. It may work or may not with other versions with the same commands. The specifications given by the manufacturer are: CDMA 1x technology; Data speed upto 153.6 kbps; Voice and SMS services and Standard USB interface. You may not be able to use SMS and Voice services in Linux, but it can establish connection with Internet simply by dialing. Follow the given steps carefully while installing.
After booting up Fedora, login as root.
connect modem in the USB port.
Open terminal window and check the usb device
#lsusb
It shows an output with these values 0eab:9357 [Here vendor ID is ’0xeab’ and product ID is ’0×9357′]
Run the command to load the driver.
#modprobe usbserial vendor=0xeab product=0×9357
#gedit /etc/rc.d/rc.local
(Add the line modprobe usbserial vendor=0xeab product=0×9357 in rc.local file)
Save rc.local file and reboot the system
After rebooting , Open System>>Administration>>Networking
Create ‘New Device’
Select ‘Modem connection’ and then press ‘Forward’ button.
Type phone number as ‘#777′; Give Provider name [RELIANCE], Login name and Password (the number provided by the vendor). Press the ‘Forward’ button.
Now select the conncetion named RELIANCE and activate it.
Check green indicator in the modem is blinkig or not. If so, open your internet browser and see whether pages are displaying or not.
Note: I tested the modem with Fedora 6 and Fedora 9.
