Hi,

I am using TATA photon plus dongle to connect my Inter net.
Can anyone let me know how do I configure it on Fedora 18?

Thanks,

Vicky

Fedora 18 -- Time to upgrade

you might want to install fedora 19 or 20 FIRST
fedora 18 will hit it's End Of Life on Jan 10 2014
in about 7 WEEKS it dies ( R.I.P )
there will never be any more support for fedora 18 after that , it will be basically dead

there is a linux dialer

as to is it will run on fedora ?
unknown fedora is after all a "Research and Development Testing " distro and is often TOO NEW for most things

have you seen this post on this forum

John,

Thanks for the reply.
Can I update my Fedora directly from 18 to 20 or do I need to update it first to 19 and then on 20?

Thanks,

Vicky

i would go to 19 , then after 20 has been out for a month or two
upgrade to 20

but a inplace upgrade has a tendency to fail

new installs are recommended as a way to "upgrade"

Please try to use the LQ Search function first, or even check Google. This has been asked and answered MANY times already:

JohnVV is right, though...an upgrade is certainly a wise idea, but you can most probably get your dongle working without it. Most of the time you just need to run usb_modeswitch, then use whatever network manager you wish to configure your connection.
