Notes

My xorg.conf

WiMax requires additional software packages from http://linuxwimax.org and compilation. libnl1 is required and needs to be 32 bit (limitation of the wimax packages from linuxwimax.org). Complete instructions can be on linuxwimax.org's site and their mailing list archives. Below is a snippet of what needs to be done.

(The kernel in Ubuntu 9.10 includes WiMAX drivers and firmware out of the box, so you only need to compile the userspace tools)

Create /etc/modprobe.d/i2400m.conf containing:

• options i2400m idle_mode_disabled=1

Install the ia32-libs package

Get a copy of libnl.so.1.1 from a 32-bit Ubuntu installation (no 32-bit libnl package is currently available under x86_64 Ubuntu)

• cd /usr/lib32/

  cp /<...>/libnl.so.1.1 . ln -s libnl.so.1.1 libnl.so.1 ln -s libnl.so.1 libnl.so ldconfig

Install pkg-config, libnl-dev, autoconf, libtool, and libc6-dev-i386 packages

Download the WiMAX Network Service

• tar -xvjf WiMAX-Network-Service-1.4.0.tar.bz2 cd WiMAX-Network-Service-1.4.0/ Edit configure.ac : add '-m32' to CFLAGS autoconf cd wimax-tools/ Edit configure.in : add '-m32' to CFLAGS autoconf cd ..
• /configure --with-i2400m=/usr/src/wimax-i2400m-1.4.1/ \
  • --sysconfdir=/etc \ --localstatedir=/var \ --mandir=/usr/share/man \ --prefix=/usr/local
  Edit libtool : change 'ECHO="echo"' to 'echo="echo"' make all make install ldconfig cd .. rm -rf WiMAX-Network-Service-1.4.0 rm -rf /usr/src/wimax-i2400m-1.4.1

Download the Binary Supplicant

• tar -xvjf Intel-WiMAX-Binary-Supplicant-1.4.0.tar.bz2 cd Intel-WiMAX-Binary-Supplicant-1.4.0
• /install_supplicant.sh install cd .. rm -rf Intel-WiMAX-Binary-Supplicant-1.4.0

/etc/init.d/wimax start

• If you want to have this start automatically, install the sysv-rc-conf package, then run 'sysv-rc-conf wimax on'

Connect to the network

• wimaxcu status wimaxcu ron wimaxcu scan wimaxcu connect network 4 wimaxcu status link wimaxcu status connect wimaxcu connectmode connect auto
