Sorry, it's the next morning. Actually, I was bragging. What I have is
more of a debugging output. If I'm not watching when it happens, it's
gone (buried). But I'd be glad to watch when you get home, if we set it
up in
advance.
Here's what I get from a wide scan in my office. Notice that
"Time Warner Cable" is listed first as ID 51. That's us, GENI.
Seems to be wrong in the database. Is that WiMAX_DB.bin?
If I edit WiMAX_DB.bin, how do I make it take effect?
Notice that ID51 has a different RSSI from the other 3. I think
that Clear, Sprint and Comcast are all carried on the same signal,
while we - GENI - are a separate BS and signal altogether.
The wimax interface on node1-110 (below) is an Intel 6250 Centrino,
which I think uses the same driver as you have for the 5150.

I've been trying to get this working at home ... which is Porter
Square in Cambridge ;-) Want to see if anything showed up in your
logs about 20 minutes ago?
I did a manual scan to see if I could find GENI, but wimaxcu is only
showing me the commercial networks (CLEAR, Time Warner, Comcast,
Sprint). In any case I've only ever tried telling it to connect to
network 2 (CLEAR). But who knows...
What WiMAX adapter are you trying to use to connect to GENI?
Does anyone living in the Boston area have an Intel WiMAX/WiFi Link
5150 working under Linux? If so ... we should chat. :)

Well, this is probably a long shot. I'm in Boston, too, at FreshPond
in Cambridge. I'm working on the GENI WiMAX network (see
http://www.geni.net/) and trying to get a pretty recent build of
WiMAX up on the net. We have the advantage that we have a base
station and I can watch the logs as I try to connect. I can even dig
in a little bit but we do not have source code for the BS and in any
case I don't want to "void the warranty." I remember David Ward's
last cry for help on this list. It happened at about the time that I
was seeing a rogue station trying to access GENI. We control access
by accepting only certain MAC addresses and I didn't grant access to
the rogue. It seems unlikely that If David was attempting to access
us at FreshPond, from a site at Lincoln Labs, that we would hear him,
but, who knows? If you want to schedule a time when I should watch
the logs, send me some email at axm at bbn.com. Maybe you're the rogue!
But, why I'm really writing is that with my Dell Inspiron 1012,
loaded with Ubuntu 10.10 and the current WiMAX Tools and WiMAX
service daemon shows symptoms similar to David's. I can find the
base signal with wimaxcu scan but I don't see any sign of my mobile
signal in BS logs. How should I start tracking this? It seems like
a config problem...as if I'm not sending on the right frequency
(which happens to be 2590MHz - well away from the local ClearWire
signals). We have a legitimate FCC experimental license.
I also have a Sprint EVO 4G (rooted and jimmied) and a Beceem USB
dongle. Both the EVO and Beceem connect and work just fine.

Hi Inaky,
I tried responding to this a long time ago, but it seems that my
message was too large with the logs and it never made it to the
mailing list. I'm sending it again, but this time I've gzipped the
logs and attached them. I was out of town a lot recently with the
holidays, but I really would like to get this working and appreciate
any time you can spare to help me with this.

I updated wimax-network-service to the latest version from git,
which included your patches. However the connection still failed;
see the console output inlined below, and the attached logs. Which
Linux distribution you were able to get the 5150 working under?

I suspect that my system is fully connected, since both the i2400m
and i2400m_usb modules are being loaded. Can you test this on a
fully connected machine if you haven't already?
Thanks again!
David
