iBurst is a wireless broadband internet service, so far I only know that it is
available in Austrailer and South Africa. Here in South Africa, there are two
devices you can use for connectivity an internal and external "modem". With
the external modem, you can use either USB or ethernet to connect (pppoe).
The PCMCIA currently is not documented and there is no driver for Linux.

I ordered the external modem (still waiting for it), I'll try to get some guys
from our LUG to test it (only the PCMCIA version is causing pain), hopefuly
someone is stuck with that version ;)
