You cannot install mobile broadband or data cards like Aircel, Airtel 4G, Tata Photon Plus, mBlaze ZTE and other modems in Fedora by default. This modem will have Windows executable file and you can install in Windows operating system. As there are wide range of Linux version these modems won't have installer by default. But you no need to worry, Linux is a powerful tool and all you need to do is install a package.
Issue - Unable to config wireless modem, data card, 3G, 4G, mobile broadband etc in Fedora
Solution
Fedora detects your USB modem as a storage device. It can't differentiate without driver package. So without required package it detects all USB device as ZeroCD. So we need to install package to detect modem. To fix the issue just install usbmodeswitch package.
Required package to fix the issue - usbmodeswitch
There are several repositories which provide this package. Just search and download the package and double click on downloaded file to install. Then reboot the computer to detect any data card.
