    Hey,

    Actually, I solved it by myself after putting some effort...what I did is as below...

    On command line....
    1) Write "cd /etc/usb_modeswitch.d"
    2) Write "sudo gedit"
    3) Text editor will get open.....paste the following text.

    ################################################## #####
    # Haier CE 100

    DefaultVendor= 0x201e
    DefaultProduct= 0x2009

    TargetClass= 0xff

    NeedResponse=1

    CheckSuccess=10

    ------------------------------------------------------------------

    4) Click "Save" and name the file: "201e:2009" then close the file.
    5) Now go to home folder and run:

    "sudo usb_modeswitch -c /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/201e\:2009"

    Give root password, when asked and

    You will see the following output....

    Re: Tata photon + Olive device VME101 not working in Ubuntu 10.10

    mehulphy - thanks for the detailed instructions, but when i try to follow them step by step, I get stuck at the command

    sudo usb_modeswitch -c /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/201e\:2009

    The error it gives me is

    Error: MessageContent hex string has uneven length. Aborting.

    Any workaround for this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is the only place where I have got stuck. Everything else on my laptop is working great in Ubuntu 10.10. Just to update you, when i run

    lsusb

    this is the output I get

    amit@amitsharma:~$ lsusb

    Re: Tata photon + Olive device VME101 not working in Ubuntu 10.10

    hey amity, try removing the single space from both the messagecontent strings,(MessageContent and MessageContent2), I had the same problem and it worked for me, in the sense that i got rid of the error. btw, i am using Tata photon + Olive device on ubuntu 9.04

    I could not get my modem detected however, sudo usb_modeswitch ... gives me "no devices found..nothing to do, bye" , hope it works for you.

    thank you mehulphy for sharing the info. much appreciated.

    Re: Tata photon + Olive device VME101 not working in Ubuntu 10.10

    Actually, if you don't want to run the command

    sudo usb_modeswitch -c /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/201e\:2009

    every time after you plug in, then do the following.

    1) Open terminal
    2) Write "gedit" and press "enter key"
    3) Text editor will open, now paste the command

    sudo usb_modeswitch -c /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/201e\:2009

    4) Click "Save", and name the file "tata.sh" (You can give your own name)
    5) Now, every time you don't have to run that long command, instead run

    ./tata.sh

    Enjoy......

    Re: Tata photon + Olive device VME101 not working in Ubuntu 10.10

    Thanks a lot mehulphy. Absolute genius. No hitches BUT (yes there always is a but ) I used the Network Connection icon to connect. On Mobile Broadband I selected TATA PHOTON but I simply cannot connect. It keeps showing the "waves" of trying to connect & ultimately show "Network Disconnected" HELP !!!

    Solved !! In the Network Connections in the Mobile Broadband tab I inserted Username "internet" & password "internet". Checked the boxes "Connect Automatically" & "Available to all users". Voila !! It immediately connected. But still thanks to you I was encouraged to do the last itsy bitsy stuff myself. Take care.
