Here's what I did to get it working in Ubuntu 9.10 on a 64-bit machine:
(The kernel in Ubuntu 9.10 includes WiMAX drivers and firmware out of the box, so you only need to compile the userspace tools)
Create /etc/modprobe.d/i2400m.conf containing:
options i2400m idle_mode_disabled=1
Install the ia32-libs package
Get a copy of libnl.so.1.1 from a 32-bit Ubuntu installation (no 32-bit libnl package is currently available under x86_64 Ubuntu)
cd /usr/lib32/
cp /<...>/libnl.so.1.1 .
ln -s libnl.so.1.1 libnl.so.1
ln -s libnl.so.1 libnl.so
ldconfig
Install pkg-config, libnl-dev, autoconf, libtool, and libc6-dev-i386 packages
Download the WiMAX Network Service
tar -xvjf WiMAX-Network-Service-1.4.0.tar.bz2
cd WiMAX-Network-Service-1.4.0/
Edit configure.ac : add '-m32' to CFLAGS
autoconf
cd wimax-tools/
Edit configure.in : add '-m32' to CFLAGS
autoconf
cd ..
./configure --with-i2400m=/usr/src/wimax-i2400m-1.4.1/ \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--localstatedir=/var \
--mandir=/usr/share/man \
--prefix=/usr/local
Edit libtool : change 'ECHO="echo"' to 'echo="echo"'
make all
make install
ldconfig
cd ..
rm -rf WiMAX-Network-Service-1.4.0
rm -rf /usr/src/wimax-i2400m-1.4.1
Download the Binary Supplicant
tar -xvjf Intel-WiMAX-Binary-Supplicant-1.4.0.tar.bz2
cd Intel-WiMAX-Binary-Supplicant-1.4.0
./install_supplicant.sh install
cd ..
rm -rf Intel-WiMAX-Binary-Supplicant-1.4.0
/etc/init.d/wimax start
If you want to have this start automatically, install the sysv-rc-conf package, then run 'sysv-rc-conf wimax on'
Connect to the network
wimaxcu status
wimaxcu ron
wimaxcu scan
wimaxcu connect network 4
wimaxcu status link
wimaxcu status connect
wimaxcu connectmode connect auto
