Installing Tata Docomo 3G Dongle under Ubuntu 10.10

--------

The install procedure is very easy and no specfic software would be needed on a default ubuntu

10.10 install.

a) Plug in the modem and ensure that it is detected by the OS ( use tail -f /var/log/messages)

b) Click on the networker Icon ( the one on the lower left corner of the desktop on the

notifcation area which shows the network status.

c) click on edit connections

d) select mobile broadband

e) Follow the on screen instructions

f) When prompted for APN change it to tatadocomo3g

g) Leave all other at default and click on connect form the notifcation area network icon.

If all is well you shoudl be connected and online. It is a common problem that the USB storage

on the

dongle does not show up in ubuntu 10.10 ( for HSPA+ Modem). Just copy the content of the 3G

folder form the USB Dongle using a

windows machine and install the mobile partner software under linux. ( the 3G folder has a

Linux folder and an installer script that can be used)

Once the APN is setup correctly this should work like Charm.

Thanks to Savin for his research on the APN " tatadocomo3g" part.
