StarBand or DirecPC Satellite Return on linux?



I am currently looking for a broadband connection. My only option is going to be via Satellite for now. I know both say it is only USB, but I also read somewhere that the Starband set can be "hacked" to use Ethernet and make it work for Linux. (Don't remember the site). What I am wondering is if I can do this with DirecPC (since I use DirecTV now)? Or if there are drivers for the USB version in the works? If I can't find anything, I might have to (dare I say it) use Windows as a router. Can you see my dilemma? (BTW - I found a program that would work for routing that is Linux friendly.)
