I've updated the Iburst wiki again:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Iburst
(I added the first section, the rest is outdated)

It now contains info on automatically connecting to iburst when plugging
the device in (no scripts needed).
Also added additional troubleshooting and notes.

Hope it helps.
