[ubuntu-in] Tata Indicom Photon+ / Reliance NetConnect on Ubuntu

[Prakash Advani]

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.

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?
