Dear all, I am looking for a driver for this USB Wimax card I bought. It came with a subscription for a WiMax company in Holland called aerea.nl. The USB casing has written on it: Alcatel-Lucent 9799 MIMO USB Dongle, 3.5Mhz, P/N: 1AF16115ABAA However, the o/p of lsusb -v shows that this is actually a USB device made by Beceem.
The kernel on my laptop is 2.6.28-11-generic Ubuntu i686 I installed the s/w that came with the card with WINE. Its a connection manager and the GUI installs and runs. Of course, it does not pick up the card. In the Wine directory these drivers are installed for Windows. I seem to remember there was a way of loading Windows drivers in Linux. Cannot remember what the programme was called. ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Alcatel-Lucent/WCM/Driver/USB# ls -1 bcmbusctr.cat BcmBusCtr.inf BcmBusCtr.sys drxvi314.cat drxvi314.inf drxvi314.sys macxvi200.bin macxvi.cfg Does anyone know of anyway of getting this to run on Linux? Regards, Simon. # lsusb -v Bus 002 Device 008: ID 198f:0210 Beceem Communications Inc.
