OK, I got it now :) (Connected to gmail via wimax as I type this message
...)
Much thanks to everyone.
I think my dhcp/route problems were caused by when I get built the patched
dhclient version that was needed in the 1.3 version before and installed its
files, which then tainted my dhclient configuration.
So I "apt-get purge"'d and re-instaled the dhcp3-client package and things
now work as expected and already described by Paul in his success reports.
Also to get the wimax daemon to run automatically at startup, I did
update-rc.d wimax defaults
to tie that down.
Config details:
Network: XOHM (connected using profile 4)
Device: Lenovo y530 with Intel 5350 card
Linux details: Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid desktop, with custom kernel 2.6.29-rc6,
32 bit version
Intel Wimax Software: v 1.4.0 built as kernel module and added seperately
into linux (i.e. I didn't select wimax in my rc6 kernel make menuconfig
process)
