Vodafone Internet Sharing with Linux
I have two mobile internet connections. One is the TATA Plug to Surf (USB Modem) connection which I generally use to connect my laptop to the Internet. This is not so good connection in particularly our area(Dombivali). I have got a better report of TATA USB connection from friends and colleagues who live in Mumbai and suberbs. Dombivali is part of Thane Dist. The thing I loved about Tata is that this modem support Linux and gives a better performance if used with Linux.
Well, the other connection I have is Vodafone Mobile. I am using this on my HTC Smartphone. Its awesome and works beyond expectations. I can chat with the help of the great messenger Mundu,
I was planning to terminate the Tata account as its not giving me the results. For this I need to make sure that the Vodafone connection on my Smartfone works with the Linux Distro (Ubuntu). I had some calls to the Vodafone Care and they said they dont support Linux. Grrrr!! That was a bad one. They have some drivers and scripts for windows and Macs respectively. The other issue is Vodafone do not support internet sharing using the HTC Smartfone. The lady from the Customer Care had a proficient knowledge about technology and had a good attitude towards the customers. I was very happy with the information she provided. She also promised me to share those scripts so that I can try to built my own scripts to share the Internet with my Ubuntu Linux. Ofcourse I tried to google before doing all these but didn’t found much help.
Feel free to comment if anyone has got any idea on how to share Vodafone internet with your linux distro.
