[ubuntu-in] Tata Photon on Ubuntu 11.04 Natty

[Sanjay Bhangar]

Hi,

I installed Natty on a friend's laptop. I will try to write a separate
email about little issues faced with the unity desktop shell, but a
big issue faced is that I cannot seem to get Tata Photon+ to connect
to the internet.

I plug in the device and Network Manager recognizes a new CDMA Mobile
Broadband device. I click on it and configure the provider (India ->
Tata Photon Plus). After this, network manager shows the state where
it is trying to connect to the network, and remains in that state,
without successfully connecting. usb-modeswitch and
usb-modeswitch-data are both installed.

This seems to be a regression as the Photon has worked for me on 10.10
without needing to do anything, really.

I would be highly grateful if someone has dealt with this and has any
ideas, or lets me know what debugging information I can provide to try
and sort this out.

Thanks,
Sanjay
