Hi Prakash
On Ubuntu, we have found that only the Huwaei data card works. The ZTE
does not work.
Problem is that Reliance has phased out the Huwaei card and does not
offer that on new connections, this creates problems for people who
migrate to Ubuntu.
Either they should continue to support the Huwaei card or should provide
support on ZTE.
We have not found any other company (bsnl/airtel/vodafone) providing
support for GNU/Linux on their wireless cards
Would be good to also hear others experiences
regards,
Guru

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?
