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 :confused:

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? :confused: 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?
