Hi,
I am goin in for BSNL Broadband in chennai. When I
called up the tech support, they said that they had
two options: Huawei 841MT and Huawei WA 1003.
I use Huawei WA 1003a. It works fine when used with the ethernet port in
any linux distro. But when it comes to USB, there are some
issues.Thechipset is a eagle-usb
chipset.In Ubuntu the modem gets detected out of the box....and i just had
to enter the DNS to get my net working ...whereas in FC5 it needed some
fixing..(though i havent fixed it yet). Im not sure of the 841MT. This one
has a ethernet port, a USB and a wifi.
This one give a good info on Huawei WA 1003a:
