Re: [Ilugc] What should be the problem?

[Krishnan Sethuraman]

I use Reliance Datacard and the hardware manufacturer is ZTE. I use it in
Ubuntu and it is just plug and play. In Mac I had some trouble but the App
on the reliance website works fine. My suggestion would be, find the model
no. of your data card and search for the correct driver and install.
Reliance website has driver for both Linux and Mac.

Try using wvdial with correct configuration. Usually the device name will
be /dev/ttyUSB0 (for a tata photon plus device I used). If it works then
make a script and run it as needed. It may be a problem of network manager.
If it works with wvdial then report the issue to network manager guys and
they will fix it.

If wvdial did not work:
Try with different plans available in the list (instead of the correct
one). This may work if your device switches to a different technology. Your
net connection may work. But it may cause some trouble like higher billing
rate so use it for some 4 hours and check the bill amount in net to make
sure you are not billed higher. If you are billed properly then yeah this
is the solution. But to my knowledge they won't change to a different
technology.

this is how the 3G service is offered.  I dont know about reliance.  but 
when i went through Airtel 3G plans, they said, that after some data 
limit, only 2g speed will be available.

I am not sure if this is the case in your scenario, but seems logical to
put this forward:
The speed drop is not bandwidth control. It is actually because the
connection itself switches to a different technology (Broadband+ and High
speed 1x in my case). To switch the modem to connect using the lower speed
technology might be a proprietory AT command. Since the Windows front end
can do this for you, it is able to connect in low speed.

[Ilugc] What should be the problem?

[Prasanna Venkadesh]

Dear luggies,

One of my friend is running his laptop powered with LinuxMint 11 + dual
boot windows and he uses Reliance Broadband + USB Modem manufactured my ZTE
corporation for internet connection.

According to his Data plan when some data limit is reached, the speed of
connection will drop from 3.1 Mbps to 256 kbps.

When the speed drops, he is unable to get internet connection in linux and
he can access internet via windows in the same laptop using the Front-end
developed for the modem.

Now whats happening? What should be the problem? How can this be resolved?

He feels like just for this reason i need to switch to windows (he wants a
solution for this in linux).

Even i have tried in my laptop running fedora 16 updated till date and
modem gets detected, configuration done, yet not getting connected.

Thanks in advance :-)
