Bah, just found out that the iBurst driver 1.3.2 doesn’t compile in Ubuntu Hardy Heron. Turns out a macro in the kernel called SET_MODULE_OWNER was deprecated in 2.6.23, and removed in 2.6.24. The iBurst driver currently depends on that macro, so I will have to look at patching it so that it can work for Hardy Heron, which uses the 2.6.24 kernel.
Update
The fix is quite simple. Just remove SET_MODULE_OWNER from ib-net.c, recompile and install.
Comments
As a windows XP user, just installed Hardy Heron rather than upgrade to Vista and I love this new OS, however I depend on iburst to connect away from the office so would appreciate notification as to when and were a new driver to support it will be ready .
If i can get my iburst to work, i wont be going back to windows

Appreciate if you can explain more about this, how to remove and compile back the code.. Thanks
Sure, just follow my instructions up to step 3 at http://ca.rroll.net/2008/02/05/iburst-on-ubuntu-gutsy-gibbon/.
Then go into the untarred directory and use your favourite editor to open and edit ib-net.c. Search for the line that contains SET_MODULE_OWNER(netdev); and delete the line, save and exit your editor.
Now follow my instructions from step 4 onwards at http://ca.rroll.net/2008/02/05/iburst-on-ubuntu-gutsy-gibbon/.
