    Amitabh, it is very easy and simple in 11.04. connect evdo wait for auto diction. If it not displaying the wizard then select menu System-> Preferences -> Network Connections. Select Mobile Broadband Tab. click Add button. Check if broadband connection widows identified your device then select it from the list. if not, no problem. Click forward select Country/region as INDIA then Forward. Select your provider from list as BSNL/CellOne then forward and select your Connection plan eg: New GPRS/3G forward and Apply. Disable and Enable your network for connecting BSNL Net.
    Hope this will help...

    Dear Abhishek,

    Check weather there is USB Mode Switch installed in your system if not found use this command sudo apt-get install usb-modeswitch or use Synaptic Package Manager or Ubuntu Software Center for installing . After completing installation unplug Photon+ and reconnect. Now try to install Photon+
