Update
The fix is quite simple. Just remove SET_MODULE_OWNER from ib-net.c, recompile and install.

1. Make sure you have libc6-dev installed.

$ sudo apt-get install libc6-dev

2. Download ibdriver 1.3.2 from Sourceforge.

3. Move the tarball to a temporary build folder and untar it.

$ mv ~/Desktop/ibdriver-1.3.2-linux-2.6.20.tar.gz ~/src/build
$ tar zxvf ibdriver-1.3.2-linux-2.6.20.tar.gz

4. Make and install the driver.

$ cd ~/src/build/ibdriver-1.3.2-linux-2.6.20
$ make
$ sudo make install

5. Configure the PCMCIA files.

$ gksudo gedit /etc/pcmcia/config.opts

Add the following at the end of the config file.

# iBurst card
device "iburst_cs"
class "network" module "ib-pcmcia"

card "ArrayComm ut02"
manfid 0x02e3, 0x0002
bind "iburst_cs"


Create the /etc/modprobe.d/iburst file.

$ gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/iburst

Add the following text to the file, save and close the file.

options ib-net ifname="eth%d"


6. It is a good idea to restart your laptop at this point. Plug in your PCMCIA iBurst card and use pccardctl to check that the card was detected by the driver.

$ pccardctl status

You should see that the device is bound to the “iburst_cs” driver.

7. Run pppoeconf to connect to your iBurst provider.

$ sudo pppoeconf

A text-based menu program will guide you through the next steps, which are:

• Confirm that your Ethernet card is detected.
• Enter your username.
• Enter your password.
• If you already have a PPPoE Connection configured, you will be asked if it may be modified.
• Popular options: you are asked if you want the “noauth” and “defaultroute” options and to remove “nodetach” – choose Yes.
• Use peer DNS – choose Yes.
• Limited MSS problem – choose Yes.
• When you are asked if you want to connect at start up, you will probably want to say yes.
• Finally you are asked if you want to establish the connection immediately.

Once you have finished these steps, your connection should be working.

8. Starting the connection.

$ sudo pon dsl-provider

9. Stopping the connection.

$ sudo poff dsl-provider
