May 12
After full two months, I finally gave up my laziness and did a quick search. I tried out the first solution offered and it worked out in the first try itself, how often does that happen. It took me a total of 10 mins including searching, restarting and configuring to get connected to the net in Linux.
Here is the procedure to get Huawei EC325 Data Modem in Linux:-
- Open a terminal window.
- Log in as root, i.e. type “su -” sans the quotes and enter the root password.
- Then use vi to edit/create the following file “/etc/wvdial.conf”.
- Enter the following text into it.
[Modem0]
Modem=/dev/ttyUSB0
Baud=115200
SetVolume=0
Dial Command = ATDT
init1=ATZ
init2=AT+CRM=1
FlowControl= Hardware (CRTSCTS)
[Dialer tata]
Username= internet
Password= internet
Phone=#777
Stupid Mode= 1
Inherits = Modem0 - In the above change the Modem=/dev/ttyUSB0 to what ever your device name is, you should be able to see it while the OS is booting, else give the “dmesg” command and search in that.
- Final step is give the command “wvdial tata”, and if everything is proper you should now be connected to the net.
- Press “Ctrl+c” when you want to disconnect.
I have tried this on SuSE 10.1 and it should work on any latest release of any Linux system. Also I had this system configured for net access for BSNL dataone service before, so am not absolutely sure if you have to do any DNS settings or not. But it should work regardless of it.
Great to be back into the Linux world again.

Hi nithin -

Hi Madwaraj,
I believe it will work without any re-installation, only thing that you may need to change may be the username and password. And of course the sim card

Hi, Nithin,
I purchaged HUAWEI EC 325 data modem from Reliance. They are cheating me with huge bills, I want to go for Tata Indicom, but I dont want to invest money on the modem, Can I use Huawei Ec 325 for Tata Indicom using Tsim Card that Tata Indicom will provide.
Please tell me whether I can use Huawei Ec 325 for Tata Indicom wireless net connection.
I went to Tata Indicom
and they are not sure whether Huawei Ec 325(purchaged from Reliance) will work for Tata using T sim Card, they are insisting to purchage HUAWEI EC325 (again)from Tata Indicome.
Please let me know ASAP.

I tried your instructions on my Huawei EC325 USB netconnect Reliance card on Fedora Core 6 on my Sony Viao.
After a little bit of effort, smooth connect. Sometimes, initially I have to pull the modem out and reconnect. Also, I set up the modem connect on System/Admin/Network and that works fine too.
Next have to try it with my ZTE card.
April 30th, 2008 at 1:29 am
Ok.. I have just posted an article & tools for removing the lock for the device. Download the tool and have fun. It replaces the lock placed by network operator which disables the device to work on other networks. check out http://www.unpackstudio.com and see the article Unpacking HUAWEI EC 325 DATA CARD

Hi Friends,
I have followed the information from the reliance forum to use the modem in linux. There is a surprising thing. My modem is being recognized as gsm modem…
I am pasting the output of dmesg after loading the module using modprobe.
Please tell me what to do. I am usng mandriva 2008.1 and and quite impresed wth it. i am using kppp as an alternative to wvdial

Hi guys,
my problem is now resolved. i realized that it does not matter to me whether it is a cdma or a gsm service. all i had to do was configure it using kppp as a normal dialup connection.

I recently got a internet connection from BSNL. I purchased the Huawei EC325 modem which uses a USB cable to connect to the PC. My inital reaction was since it was a USB connection and was using a custom software to connect to the net, it would not be possible to connect to the net in Linux (fedorA)using this modem.
December 18th, 2008 at 7:51 pm
Dear Nithin,
After a long struggle I gave up the plan to configure EC 325 in Ubuntu 8.10 . Fortunately I came across your blog. Now I am connected to Net.Thankyou

I was using Ec325 on Ubuntu 7.1 without problems.
But now, I can not connect anymore.

PPP daemon has died = A modem hang up the phone (exit code = 16).
of course with ” warning: could not modify pap-secrets, permissions are denied …”
Please, can u help me to connect ?

Hi all. I have a Huawei 325 modem as well, used for a year with Mandriva 2008 together with wvdial. Now I upgraded to Mandriva 2009 and wvdial is not on the distro disk but available on update sites I am told.
Already in 2008.1 Huawei was detected automatically when plugged in, but when trying to configure or use; it asks for the pin and after that the usual “check your SIM card” thing. and then nada. Same problem now in Mandriva 2009.
My question is why must it be so difficult to remove the pin query from the GUI setup source code and just use the modem just as it is used in wvdial? it just a matter of a few lines of codes I guess? I mean why must it be problematic in the GUI when the wvdial is so simple?
I have tried setting up KPPP with its GUI too but not working, learning curve maybe, still working on it.
any pin entered does not work, I have tried them all; welcome to “check your SIM card” message…

Thanks for an excellent post!
I am a linux newbie. I am using BSNL Huawei EC325 Data modem on Ubuntu 7.10 os. It works well in windows XP. But when I followed the instructions given by you in ubuntu, i couldn’t connect. (Below are the outputs.) Looks like the ppp connection is working fine, but I cannot browse the internet or ping the DNS servers. May be I am missing some silly thing which you have ignored in your instructions.

Please let me know how can I test that specific connection ppp0 on linux? How can I know that firefox is using ppp0 for the internet? Any other way to figure out where the problem is?
Sorry if this is very naive.

I am using Huawei Data card both in linux (Fedora
and in Windows XP. In linux I used Wvdial and in windows I used the data card driver. But surprisingly recent performance is quit slow in linux. please help me. I want to use linux forever
November 22nd, 2009 at 9:58 pm
I have a Huawei EC325 modem with BSNL Connection. I like to use it in Linux. I tried hard. I couldn’t even find the following file “/etc/wvdial.conf”. Please help me.
November 26th, 2009 at 10:22 am
@Suresh : Can you tell me which Linux distribution you are using, since since the last two releases Ubuntu has stopped including ‘wvdial’ package as a part of the installation. So if you are using Ubuntu, please download ‘wvdial’ seperately (Open synaptic -> search for wvdial -> Mark it for installation -> In the file menu choose the ‘generate download script’), open the saved file and use the path mentioned to download wvdial and its dependencies, once downloaded open synaptic again and goto file -> install downloaded packages and select the folder where you have saved the downloaded files.)
If you are not using Ubuntu, check if wvdial is installed by opening the terminal and typying wvdial. Get back in case you have any further doubts.
November 26th, 2009 at 10:45 am
@Nilanjan : Can you let me know which browser you are using and perhaps you could track your speed using the gnome applet netspeed and let me know how much speed you are getting in actual?
November 27th, 2009 at 9:17 am
I am using Mozilla Firefox of Fedora eight…I will let u know abt the speed later…..
November 27th, 2009 at 9:59 am
Sorry Nithin my distro dont have netspeed…I have checked the DVD also…but there is no netspeed….But its bit slower in linux may be caused by the lack of driver probelem…..as I have visited ur blog in less than one min in windows while it took 3 mins in linux…I dont have any driver installed in linux as I dont have….but EC325 driver(one above) is running smoothly…I tried wine to install other driver but it did not work…plz suggest
November 27th, 2009 at 10:16 am
@Nilanjan : There are no seperate drivers required for NIC Card in Linux, everything comes bundeled along with the distro, and don’t even try using the drivers under wine it is useless to try that. And the problem looks to be with the configuration rather than the driver issue. One simple thing would be to update your distro to the latest version which is Fedora 12 if possible. Else which version of Firefox are you using, do a ‘about:config’ in your address bar, continue if you are shown a warning, and then search for ‘network.dns.disableIPv6′ and set its value to ‘false’. Check the following http://kb.mozillazine.org/Error_loading_any_website#IPv6 for the exact steps.
Also can you provide the details of doing a ping on google.com, use the command ‘ping google.com’

Hi, Nithin,
I purchaged HUAWEI EC 325 data modem from Reliance. They are cheating me with huge bills, I want to go for Tata Indicom, but I dont want to invest money on the modem, Can I use Huawei Ec 325 for Tata Indicom using Tsim Card that Tata Indicom will provide.
Please tell me whether I can use Huawei Ec 325 for Tata Indicom wireless net connection.
I went to Tata Indicom
and they are not sure whether Huawei Ec 325(purchaged from Reliance) will work for Tata using T sim Card, they are insisting to purchage HUAWEI EC325 (again)from Tata Indicome.

December 4th, 2009 at 12:08 am
@Ankit : I think you can ask the Tata guys for a demo. Once they start the demo, ask them for the TSIM card, put it in your ec325 and connect it to their demo machine and see if it work, if yes, then you are in luck.
