Re: [Ilugc] EVDO drivers for GNU/Linux

 Dear all,

 I'm thinking of getting a BSNL EVDO data card for internet access on
 my laptop. I heard that the cards used are manufactuered by Huawei, a
 Chinese company. I want to be sure if drivers exist for this
 peripheral on GNU/Linux before I splurge on the card. Does anyone have
 experience with EVDO data cards on GNU/Linux?


I Use EVDO on ubuntu and it works on the fly. No additional configuration
required. The Network Manager automatically detects it.
Otherwise, there is program called wvdial which automatically configures
the modem, all  you have to do is enter your username and password. The only
drawback is you may not get a good as a GUI as you do if you install your
drivers in Windows where you can check Max Speed. But that is a small
sacrifice for Independence

the generic usb serial driver worked well for me after 2.6.29 , and moreover
I guess with the present distros( the latest ones) you will not face any
problem configuring it.
