    You can download the driver for your device from the link you have mentioned in your question. After downloading, extract download files and folder somewhere. Now open terminal and cd to the Linux directory in your extracted folder. Now type sudo bash install to start your driver installation.

I am not sure if 14.04 would be different from 13.10 in this matter, but in my 13.10 installation, and with Huawei EC1260 (device shown in lsusb for my Reliance Netconnect dongle), I never had to install any driver or dialer.

Cold start your computer.
Insert the dongle.
Wait till a message pops up near the indicator panel about a new device.

Then click the network icon in the indicator panel and you will see new device entry - click that.

Follow the images below - select India in country, select Reliance in ISP.

Click on Apply will show popup message about registering the home network.

Now click on network icon again and open Edit Connections.
enter image description here
Select Reliance and click Edit.
enter image description here

In the Mobile Broadband tab enter your 10 digit mobile number both in the username and password.

Now click indicator panel network icon again and click on Reliance Connection... you should be connected...

  • It works. however there are some draw backs also. It is not applicable for unlimited plan. Even i disabled broadband it is not connected. Aug 28, 2014 at 9:29
  • This is how i'm presently connected.. yet there are few problems. Once crossed broadband data limit. it does not allow further networking. Aug 28, 2014 at 9:42
  • The network connection at the Operating System side has nothing to do with the data limit. You should actually subscribe to the unlimited plans.
