[ubuntu-in] Ubuntu 9.10 + Reliance NetConnect Broadband Modem (Huawei EC1260) + NetworkManager = Works Out Of The Box

[Hardik Dalwadi]

Hi,

Since Ubuntu 9.10 release, lot of people has complained about 
NetworkManager + Reliance NetConnect Broadband+ (Huawei EC1260) is not 
working out of the box, which was working fine with Ubuntu 9.04. This 
was happening due to bug in modem manager. I have just now uploaded 
patched version of modem manager [1] which has solved the problem. So, 
No more gnome-ppp or wvdial, Here we GO:

+++
#sudo apt-get update
#sudo apt-get upgrade
#sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hardik-dalwadi/ppa
#sudo apg-get update
#sudo apt-get install modemmanager
#sudo reboot
+++

Now, give a try ...
