Ptcl EVO not working in Ubuntu 14.04

Solution 1:

I had a similar problem with PTCL EVO 3g on Ubuntu 15.04. This is how I solved it.

  1. Right-click on the network icon on the tray.
  2. Go to Edit Connections.
  3. Select PTCL EVO Connection in the list.
  4. Click on Edit.
  5. Click on tab PPP settings.
  6. Deselect Allow BSD data compression, Allow deflate data compression, Use TCP Header Compression.
  7. Restart ubuntu just to be on the safe side.
  8. Activate your broadband connection.

I stumbled upon the solution by observing a number of malformed packet headers in my Wireshark dump. I hope this helps.
