[ubuntu-in] configuring Huawei WLL phone

[Ramnarayan.K]

Dear Moz

Thanks for the help. will try what you say. I have "lose xp" on a
partition and the fact is even with the official drivers from BSNL and
from Huawei i have not been able to set it up there either.

Did a search for the specific device (ETS 2288) and reports from other
places (Africa) seems that under 8.04 and 8.10 the kernels don't
support this device.

A bug too has been filed so hope this gets resolved in 9.04 - if not
the only chopice os to dunp this device and get another more
compatible one. My friendly telephone service provider (BSNL) might
oblige :-)

will, however,  try the two suggestions and get back.
