[ubuntu-za] iBurst wireless modem

[Nashvin Gangaram]

Hi Juan / Raymond

I've also experienced problems with a 3G HSDPA USB Modem in Ubuntu Karmic
9.10 and Linux Mint 8, which was apparently due to an upstream bug in the
Linux Kernel.  The problem seems to be a bit alleviated in Linux Mint 9 (it
does not detect the modem just occasionally)...

Regards,
Nashvin
