Hi, I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 stock standard as I am still struggling to get the internet up.

I installed a black UTU (Usb) Iburst modem using some patches found at http://jkroon.blogs.uls.co.za/it/net...-linux-drivers in conjunction with the sourceforge Iburst driver and Roaring penguin dialer.

At first the driver connected fine, then a week later my computer started hanging whenever I insert the usb modem.

I am a noob at Linux and so an issue like this creates immense frustration. I have read a number of blogs and forums on this topic. It seems that the linux world has abandoned Usb Iburst modems somewhat.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!
