When I purchased Tata Photon+ mobile broadband connection, I was totally unaware of that the device that I have purchased does not come with support for Linux. The device model is Huawei EC1261. I went back to the dealer asking him for the help. But no gain. Then after I decided to search the net and fix it myself. Finally I ended up writing a small three line shell script which I run everytime I want to run the internet in linux. I though of sharing with the world so that others out there do not face the dificulty !! Please write down your comments and view if this works for you. Cheers..
1) create a small .sh file and write down below lines into it
sudo usb_modeswitch -v 0x12d1 -p 0x1446 -d
sudo modprobe -rv usb-storage
sudo usb_modeswitch -c /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/12d1:1446
2) Save the document and run it using the sh command as a background process
