Hi There,
Has anyone managed to get the iBurst USB modem working on 9.04?
I had success from 6.06 to 8.04 (if memory serves).
Absolutely no luck on 9.04

Success!
Below are the steps I used to get my USB iBurst modem up and running on my 64bit Jaunty:
0) USe Synaptic to add Live/Install CD as a repo and Reload Package Information
1) Install build-essential_11.4amd64.deb from the CD
2) Download ibdriver-1.3.4-linux-2.6.28 from here
3) Unpack the downloaded file to a suitable location
4) In Makefile, comment out obj-m += ib-pcmcia.o
4) Open shell and go to parent directory of the unpacked files
4) $ make -C ibdriver-1.3.4-linux-2.6.28
5) $ sudo make -C ibdriver-1.3.4-linux-2.6.28 install
6) Once those worked, I ran sudo pppoeconf and followed instructions
And connected...

Sadly, on the second attempt at this after a clean install, the above did not work......
Error below (same as always):

HI there, i managed to install the driver but the problem is, once i restart the pc, i have to disconnect my modem, reinstalling the driver and make a new connection using pppoeconfig. How i want to make it permenantly connect like my previously ubuntu 8.10? huhu
any tricks to get the usb modem and 8.04 communicating like they should? I had them working fine with Jaunty - sourceforge driver and roaringpenguin dialler - and then the install on Heron (reverted for the graphics support) failed following the system updates.
Hi roach33
I beleive you have to use old driver rather than version ibdriver-1.3.4-linux-2.6.28. Like my laptop is using ibdriver-1.3.4-linux-2.6.20 on ubuntu Intrepid 8.10 and my dekstop using latest version ibdriver-1.3.4-linux-2.6.28 on ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty
I have compiled ibdriver-1.3.4-linux-2.6.28 on 9.04 successfully and connected using all the defaults when running pppoeconf....
All working!
Sadly, I still had to connect via office LAN to get all required packages.
FYI, after running updates for 9.04 available as of today (3 Nov 09), ib0 was no longer available.
Recompiled ibdriver-1.3.4-linux-2.6.28 and restarted, all OK.
Yup... we need to recompile and reinstall driver everytime after upgrading kernel.
I installed the iBurst driver (ibdriver-1.3.4-linux-2.6.28) on Jaunty, and configured the connection successfully using pppoeconf, as described above. However, after updating, I also have the problem that requires me to reinstall iBurst drivers after I reboot! Has anybody figured out how to solve this?
By the way, any luck getting USB iBurst working on Karmic?
