Connection with BSNL broadband using ZXDSL 531B modem in Ubuntu

Since last few weeks me and my friends are trying to connect with broadband connection of BSNL in Ubuntu 7.04

It was working perfectly in Windows-XP but not In Ubuntu 7.04
But Now Its working fine in also in Ubuntu 7.04

Many wireless cards are automatically detected by Ubuntu during installation. But some cards may not work automatically with Ubuntu.

A reliable way of getting a wireless card to work is to use the ndiswrapper tool which allows Ubuntu to use the Microsoft Windows driver for the wireless card. To do this, follow the instructions below.

1. To install ndiswrapper, install the package ndiswrapper-utils (see Add Applications). This package is provided on the Ubuntu CD. If you have access to the Internet, you can also optionally install a graphical tool, ndisgtk from the Universe repository (see ../../add-applications/C/#extra-repositories)

2. Open Applications → Accessories → Terminal and type:

   sudo ndiswrapper -i ~/Desktop/drivername.inf

   	The above command assumes that your .INF file is named drivername.inf and was copied to your Desktop. Replace these values if necessary.

3. To check if it is working correctly, type:

   ndiswrapper -l

   If it is working correctly, you should see:

   Installed ndis drivers:
     {name of driver}  driver present, hardware present

4. For ndiswrapper to function, you need to load a module. To do this, type:

     sudo depmod -a
     sudo modprobe ndiswrapper

5. To ensure that the module is loaded each time you boot the computer, type:

   sudo ndiswrapper -m

6. Configure your wifi network and Restart your network
   

sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart


I hope you also will connecting with BSNL Broadband Internet Connection
