How to use Haier CE 100 in Ubuntu 10.04

I have Tata Photon mobile broadband connection. The device that was provided to me is Haier CE100. But since I am on Ubuntu 10.04, I am unable to configure it. Is there any one who can provide me how should I move further and what all things do I require to this setup?

So you have Haier ce100 on ubuntu 10.04 from Tata Photon, then why don't you check out with the user manual for all the instructions? You must be provided with the manual instructing you about the same. You will also come to know how to connect your device and how to configure it with your Ubuntu.

The steps for configuring your Haier CE100 modem with your Ubuntu 10.04 computer is simple:
1. Connect the Haier ce100 with your Ubuntu computer.
2. Install the drivers for ubuntu.
3. Install the application manager.
4. Click on Connect and wait for 30 seconds for the connection to be established.

Connect your Haier ce100 modem to your computer. Check out if Ubuntu can read your modem by typing : lsusb in your terminal. Run the below command in your terminal :

Code:

---

sudo su
apt-get install linux-source linux-headers-generic build-essential
cd /usr/src
tar xjf linux-source-2.6.28.tar.bz2
cd linux-source-2.6.28
gedit /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.28/drivers/usb/serial/HAIER_info.c

---

Modify the file and add the below 2 lines in line 298:

Code:

---

+#define HAIER_VENDOR_ID                        0x201e
+#define HAIER_PRODUCT_ID                      0x2009

---

and add the below in line 516:

Code:

---

+ { USB_DEVICE(HAIER_VENDOR_ID, HAIER_PRODUCT_ID) },

---

Again, go to the terminal and run the below command:

Code:

---

cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.28/.config
make menuconfig
make -C /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build M=/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.28/drivers/usb/serial
cp /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.28/drivers/usb/serial/option.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/
depmod -a
gedit /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/10-modem.fdi

---

Create a new file at /etc/udev/rules.d/99-haier-ce100.rules, and insert the below line to it :

Code:

---

SYSFS{idVendor}=="201e", SYSFS{idProduct}=="2010", RUN+="/usr/bin/eject %k"

---

Reboot your computer and you are done with the settings.

I am not sure about how to do it in Ubuntu since I am Windows user since when I started learning about computers. However, I can suggest you or direct you to the correct person whom you should consult for your problem. And the person is none other than the customer support team which can instruct you how to move further. I don't think referring to the manual will help you since that is not live and anything anywhere goes wrong is not handled properly in the manual.

I don't know if this will help you but the ideal way to connect a modem to any computer is as follows:

1. Connect the Modem with data cable and the USB port of your computer.
2. Make sure that the device is detected.
3. Try to login to the graphical user interface.
4. Launch the terminal from the applications. For this, go to either Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal; or Applications -> System Tools -> Terminal.
5. Enter the following command wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf. It will automatically detect the modem and installed for internet connection.
