Re: [ubuntu-in] Tata Indicom Photon+ / Reliance NetConnect on Ubuntu
Thanks Moz, Has anyone tried the BSNL one which claims to have a speed of 7.2 Mbps? We should put all this info on the Wiki.. I plan to blog about it soon.

Hi, I too tried with ZTE. > ZTE didn't even get detected, no message on dmesg. But it did not worked.

[ubuntu-in] Tata Indicom Photon+ / Reliance NetConnect on Ubuntu
As you would have seen there are these new high speed data cards by Tata and Reliance. I have tested both Tata Indicom Photon+ / Reliance NetConnect on Ubuntu. I didn't get much time to test but this is my initial feedback. They claim to offer 2-3 Mbps but in reality offer 300-700Kbps. Reliance Netconnect offers a choice of Huawei and ZTE. Huawei was the only one that works out of the box and gets detected as ttyUSB0. ZTE didn't even get detected, no message on dmesg. lsusb shows: Bus 005 Device 002: ID 19d2:fff6 Tata Indicom Photon+ also didn't work. lsusb shows: Bus 005 Device 009: ID 12d1:140b Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. Has anyone had any different experience or is able to make any of the others to work? -- Prakash Advani | http://cityblogger.com -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
