[PLUG] Data Card Support under Linux
Recently lot of laptop vendors give Datacard (Reliance ot TataIndicom) free or at discounted rate with laptop. Earlier today I saw that one of the HP laptops provide free data card, but to keep costs down they ship with FreeDOS. Obviously options are to install Linux or Windows. Has anyone successfully used these datacards under linux ? (I'm interested in ubuntu, but any other distro is OK too) -DP -- On the internet, no one knows you are a penguin Check my blog at http://desipenguin.blogspot.com/ -- __ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.

Karunakar Hi i have tried out the data card (USB) one that comes with reliance (Huwei ec325), it works well in linux, just need to do a modprobe for the stuff in mandrake and slackware, and then it works cool with wvdial ;) From Dexter http://www.HorizontalRings.com Life though is clear, people still want to see colours -- __ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
