Does anyone here know how to get the TATA usb modem to work in linux ?
I have SLED 10 sp1 version of linux.

According to the tata website and whats written on the modem package it should work, but I just can't get it to work.
Followed the very short instruction for linux in their manual, but could not get it to work. (works in Vista)
The guys who work at TATA are clueless about linux.

Can someone help me please.

I have Tata Indicoms Photon HSIA usb modem. They supply drivers only for windows. Have anybody successful in using that in Linux. I use Fedora 8.

It is quite likely the original USB modem vendor would have a driver for Linux. Just ask service representative of Tata or if they have no clue, right click the modem connection and go to property and find out the model of the modem and then do a search on the net.
That way you should be able to find the actual vendor. Andy they are most likely to have multiple drivers.

One can use "wvdial" utility for the normal usb modem (not the new one).

Just search for "wvdial tata indicom" and follow the instructions to get connected from linux.

Hi,

I recently took a broadband connection from Tata Indicom. Its an
unlimited postpaid package.
I'm using a Fedora 9 (LINUX).
I am trying to connect the Broad band to Linux but not able to connect. It is showing Network connection is disconnected.
And at the time of booting.
He took correct IP. It shows following msg.
Determining eth 0 IP address.... Done.

I checked in to DSN Configuration it showing proper.
It with “broadband.vsnl.com” as DSN name and all
It takes proper IP address automatically but still not able to brows sites.
On task bar Icon showing network connection disconnected with Red Cross on Icon

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
Thanks
