Inaky,
The Asus dongle will be seen as a mass storage device, it contain
bunches of windows program, setup.exe, dll, cab file. When I plug in to
windows, it will install the wimax driver, but failed to install the usb
driver. From the network connection (windows), I do see a new Ethernet
connection.
I found this confusing, is there a separate wimax dongle for linux and
for windows? I thought dongle itself will only contain the wimax mac and
RF, download a firmware from host to drive it, but looks like not. Does
intel has a separate dongle for linux?
Regarding the lsusb, here's the section for asus.

That probably means it has an small storage device for the drivers
(normally
for windows).
Can you do a lsusb -v (as root) and send the result?

Yes, Ubuntu incluyded it in the distro. If you are going to use newer
drivers,
you need to wipe'em:
$ rm -f /lib/modules/2.6.24-21-generic/ubuntu/wireless/wimax-i2400m
$ depmod -a
does the trick, then you can install the new ones.
