As far as I know, there are no drivers for such cards. It is probably a USB device inside a PCMCIA casing. Can you run lsusb -v and post the results back? > 2.

If there were drivers, your kernel would be kind of too old. 2.6.29 has them included already and the compat-wimax package works all the way down until 2.6.24. > 3.

So far there are only drivers for the Intel cards (5x50 series). -- Inaky _______________________________________________ wimax mailing list [email protected] http://www.linuxwimax.org/mailman/listinfo/wimax
