While it might be *possible*, it would certainly require different firmware that hasn't to my knowledge been supported or released by Intel. I don't believe that Intel is interested in the base station business at the moment, so I doubt they would ever release base station firmware to the general public. Given that WiMAX is usually used in regulated spectrum, you'd have to have a license from your regulator agency to do this anyway, or risk the wrath of the incumbent owners of the spectrum you'd be broadcasting on :) Dan _______________________________________________ wimax mailing list [email protected] http://www.linuxwimax.org/mailman/listinfo/wimax
