My name is Brandon and I am fairly new to driver development. I am having a
tough time getting the default Intel 5350 WiMax driver to work on my system. I
am running Linux 2.6.31.2.
I first tried using the card in my laptop's mini-PCie slot. The Wifi portion
works great but the WiMax side was dead. Thinking it was because my internal
mini PCIe slot did not support USB I purchased an external adapter from
HWtools.net(http://hwtools.net/Adapter/USBMA.html) that has been tested with
the 5350(http://www.bplus.com.tw/PDF/Compatibility_List.pdf) and supposedly
should work. However, I am still getting the following errors upon connecting
the device:
[ 38.999626] i2400m_usb 8-1:1.0: firmware: requesting i2400m-fw-usb-1.4.sbcf
[ 39.361610] i2400m_usb 8-1:1.0: boot-mode cmd 2: incomplete transfer (512 vs

[ 39.389647] i2400m_usb: probe of 8-1:1.0 failed with error -5
I placed the firmware files, i2400m-fw-1.3.sbcf and i2400m-fw-1.4.sbcf, in my
/lib/firmware folder.
This problem is driving me crazy. I think I have all the hardware I need to
support the card but I have run out of ideas at this point. Any help you can
offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Brandon
