That's probably because you are using the 'mainline' README, which is for kernel 2.6.29 where the wimax drivers have already been included. The text next to the link for the -mainline readme says: "For making the network service work with the 2.6.29-rc kernels, see here" You don't have 2.6.29-rc kernels though, so that readme probably doesn't apply to you. Instead: http://linuxwimax.org/Download and check out the v1.4.0 "README-i2400m" file, and use section 2.2 as your guide, which details how to build the stack and driver as a standalone module.
