The current Intel WiMAX stack is composed of: 1) kernel driver 2) kernel WiMAX subsystem 3) userspace control daemon 4) userspace authentication supplicant 1 - 3 are open-source and thus can be built easily for ARM. #4 is not open-source, and is not built for ARM. #4 is not even built for x86-64. The supplicant is necessary to authenticate yourself to the WiMAX network. Intel has stated that they are working on an open-source version of the binary-only supplicant, but they've been saying that for more than 6 months now... Dan
