Hello: I bought a Tata Docomo 3G e-stick (model Huwaei E367) today.
I've installed it on Ubuntu 10.10 without using the supplied Linux install kit. This is what I did: I assume Network Manager is installed and working for your existing network connections. 1. Plug in the 3G e-stick into a USB port. 2. Wait for about 30 seconds for Ubuntu to detect the device. Left click on the Network Manager. The following new entries will be displayed: TATA DOCOMO UMTS New Mobile Broadband (GSM) Connection ... (the first item above will be greyed out and cannot be clicked) 3. Click on "New Mobile Broadband (GSM) Connection ..." A dialog box will open 4. Click the "Forward" button. A list of countries will be displayed. 5. Select "India", and click the "Forward" button. A service provider list will be displayed. 6. DO NOT select "Tata Docomo" from the list. Instead, select the Radio Button at the bottom labeled "I can't find my provider and I wish to enter manually ..." 7. Enter "TATA DOCOMO UMTS" in the edit box provided. Click the "Forward" button. The "Choose Billing Plan" window will be displayed. 8. The drop-down list will have "My plan is not listed". In the edit box labeled "Select plan APN (Access Point Name) enter "tatadocomo3g" 9. Click the "Confirm" button and then the "Apply" button. 10. Left click the Network Manager. Under the "Available" heading for Mobile Broadband you should see "TATA DOCOMO UMTS connection" listed. 11. Click on this item. The 3G stick should connect within a few seconds. I tried the speed test on www.speedtest.net. I got a download speed of 4+ Mbps. Here are the connection details in Network Manager: Number: *99# Username: <blank> (no username) Password: <blank> (no password) APN: tatadocomo3g Network ID: <blank> (no network id) Type: 3G UMTS/HSPA PIN: <blank> (no pin) Note: The install kit provided with the 3G e-stick must be a ndiswrapper installation.
