I also don't see how any WiMAX setup will ever allow mesh-mode operation. The whole WiMAX technology is based around point-to-point connections and the concept of basestations. Similar to what GSM/UMTS is providing. So to have any kind of mesh operation you would either need to turn your WiMAX card into a basestation or have some ad-hoc mode between two cards. I don't see that happening since behind WiMAX (same as with GSM/UMTS) is a business model and the providers are planning to make money. Also keep in mind that the spectrum is a licensed spectrum and you can not just power up a basestation by yourself.
