The 4G WiMAX part of the modem uses a Beceem chipset which does not have drivers at this time. You can find some drivers on Google, but they are horrible, and the Beceem wimax daemon is also pretty horrible, as it was based off the Intel wimaxd which is also pretty horrible. In short, without a lot of effort the 4G part just won't work. Dan > However, I am still unable to get the 4G modem to work.
