This method is dead easy compared to the previous one. All you need to do is run a shell script. If you have installed the pl2303 drivers, then remove them before you proceed.

Code:

~<Username>$ sudo -s
bash-3.2# kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/osx-pl2303.kext/
bash-3.2# rm -r /System/Library/Extensions/osx-pl2303.kext/
bash-3.2# rm -r /Library/Receipts/osx-pl2303.pkg/

Reboot

1. Download this file from mediafire.

2. Extract to your root partition, which is usually Mac HD. Execute these command in the terminal.

Code:

~<Username>$ sudo -s
bash-3.2# cd /
bash-3.2# ls

You should see the Install folder here.

Code:

bash-3.2# cd Install
bash-3.2# sh Install.sh

Reboot

Open Network preferences, you should be able to see ZTE CDMA Tech as one the connections. Enter your bsnl number and select Vendor as Novatel and Model as cdma from advanced tab.

The script is for ZTE AC8700 modems with hardware id 0c56:6000. The numbers 24576 and 1478 in the script correspond to the above id. You would have to change it if you have a different hardware id.

Connect and Surf!

Leave a reply if it works for you.

Hi, I am getting a mere 56Kbps (7KBps) !!
Are EVDO speeds subject to areas coverage?
I thought if EVDO works, it will work at the max speed possible.
Can someone help me resolve this?

You need to install the driver or else your mac wont recognize the evdo card. There are two plans 144 kbps and 2 mbps. You will get 144 kbps if evdo is not available in your area.

If EVDO is available in your area, you will get good speeds. I am sure you are in 1X mode. Get your card reconfigured at bsnl.

This happens with every major update. Just install again.

In the latest 10.5.4, we have one more
AppleWWANSupport2.kext exists, does this need any changes to Install.sh

Thanks
