FAQ Challenge

Here's a question for you...

Does it work with the iBurst USB modem?

Everyone, please post your FAQ entries (question with answer) in this thread and we'll copy the best ones into the FAQ Thread at the end of the competition.

No, the USB on this one is only good for charging an iPhone!

However, I am certain a person can build a BurstPi.
- Raspberry Pi
- iBurst USB modem
- wifi dongle
- powered usb hub
- linux distro on SD card to act as AP

Yes, this should certainly be possible, I even tried doing this. I thought it would be nice to have iBurst in my car. I ran into issues compiling the iBurst driver on the Pi though. At that time, Raspbian didn't have a kernel headers package in their repository and I couldn't find the matching Module.symvers for my running kernel. I must look at this again sometime.

I need to order a Pi and start experimenting myself. I don't think a HP microserver would be a good passenger in a car???

Lucky for me i understand everything on the links you provided. WTF?


Ok, so I am going to win the prize myself.

iBurst uses RIPE http://www.ris.ripe.net/mt/asdashboard.html?as=33762 Basically, the international transit is based on routes being loaded into RIPE. You'll notice there are no locals listed on RIPE.

When you click on https://stat.ripe.net/33762 it gives the status of international reachability.

When you look at http://as.robtex.com/as33762.html it gives an overview of the redundant paths.
