Reliance netconnect on x86_64

[zix]

Hi Everybody,
I am struggling to get my reliance netconnect to
work on x86_64. I know that there is a driver for i386, but is there
any driver for x86_64. I am seeing dmesg identifies this as usb mass
storage device not as modem device.
If anybody has any idea/suggestion, can you please share?

Thanks and Regards,
zix

What's the kernel version running on the system? Output of following would help.

#uname -a
#lsusb

Have FuN!

Hi Zix

Most of the times these  USB devices will work with your kernel (in case the usbserial module is not loaded automatically) with:

modprobe usbserial product=yourproductid vendor=yourvendorid

the product id and vendor id can be found with lsusb -v.

If this still does not work send us output of lsusb -v and we'll see what can be done.

I think its recognising as storage device, not as a modem. Thanks for
any help

any idea/help/suggestions?

Do you actually see the usb drive (like in files in it)?
The ZTEs that ship with Vodafone connect are also like that, they first show up as mass storage device with all M$ drivers.
When drivers are loaded, the device is flip flopped to a modem.
I've not been successful is getting to the modem stage.
if this is not the case, then modprobe should work like a charm in your case.

FC9 doesn't support outouf box. You need to configure it manually.

FC11 out of the box support wireless broad band.

Follow this :
Boot PC:
1. Get in super user mode (cmd: #su - )
2. #dmesg -c (clear old log)
3. Connect device
4. #dmesg
5. It might say device is connect as SCSI Read only Disk. This will
also mention node they created. Typically sr# and sg#
6. eject -s /dev/sr#
7. lsusb again. You might see change in product id, while vendor id
will remain same
8. time to insert usbserial. modprobe usbserial vendor=$(vendorid)
product=$(product)
9. dmesg again to check whether any ttyUSB# ports are created or not.

You can later configure usbswitch[1] to do this automatically.

Hi everybody,
I got this working. For the people who are stuck in
this, my earlier kernel version was 6.25. When I updated it to 6.30,
it worked for me. So, if anybody still cant make it work, pls see if
ur kernel is updated above 2.6.30. The modem got detected by productid
fff1. Till the productis is detected as fff1, u wont get it work(no
proof for this, only saw that it doesnt work for any other productid's
for couple of other people).

Then issue the command modprobe usbserial vendor=<vendorid>
product=0xfff1. U will find all the devicenodes ttyUSB0, ttyUSB1 etc
getting created.

Hope this info helps
