#3 Re: How to connect Tata photon +(Huawei EC156) to ubuntu natty Thank you very much. I have been trying for a month and Tata indicom service people were sending me from pillar to post. Your post helped me finally. I was only able to connect by using those terminal commands every time I boot. It connected without a launcher first time. When i created a launcher and used it, I got a permission error. then I realized I did not make the .sh file as an executable file by setting the properties. now it works fine. Thank you again. __________________ Gunashekar "where knowledge is free" Humanity Networks Chennai India

I doubt if I am doing the correct configuration.. in the lsusb, the Huawei device is marked as 1260, even though this post was for EC156..... I doubt if I am missing anything.... Please help... ______ Regards Praveen P

#7 Re: How to connect Tata photon +(Huawei EC156) to ubuntu natty Well, the answer suggested by Jayadeep is absolutely right, but the problems occurring (as reported by prashv and Praveen P) can be solved by adding two additional line to the code written in the 12d1:1505 file situated at /etc/usbmodeswitch.d directory. Let me put the complete code again with addition of two lines. Code:

After this run following command: Code: sd ubmdsic - /t/s_oewthd1d\10 uo s_oewth c ecubmdsic./21:55

Actually, if you don't want to run the command sudo usb_modeswitch -c /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/12d1\:1505

every time after you plug in, then do the following. 1) Open terminal 2) Write "gedit" and press "enter key" 3) Text editor will open, now paste the command sudo usb_modeswitch -c /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/12d1\:1505 4) Click "Save", and name the file "tata.sh" (You can give your own name) 5) Now, every time you don't have to run that long command, instead run Code: .tt.h /aas

Enjoy......

#8 Re: How to connect Tata photon +(Huawei EC156) to ubuntu natty Hi, Thanks for the post. It helped me connect my photon to ubuntu. Isn't there anyway that photon is detected everytime and we don't have to run this ./tata.sh ??

(For a better success check provide target IDs or class) Original device vanished after switching Mode switch most likely succeeded. Bye. the device was not detected automatically, then i tried "Edit Connections..." and the "Mobile broadband" and clicked "Add", no items was enabled in the drop down box. When i tried reconnecting the Tata Photon+ device its automounted as usb device and it asked for ".. application to launch.." pop up.
