It is true, it is next to impossible. It is complete madness IMO and this manor of madness is really hurting WiMAX. When I can pick up a 3G anything, stick it in and it works and with WiMAX 1) you can barely get the modems 2) hardly any drivers available 3) when you do get one, it's 50/50 if it actually works with whatever vendor your provider uses. What an utter disaster. -- Leigh From: wimax-bounces at linuxwimax.org [mailto:wimax-bounces at linuxwimax.org] On Behalf Of Peter Lavee Sent: 16 July 2010 08:18 To: Othniel Graichen Cc: wimax at linuxwimax.org Subject: Re: Wimax cards for laptop I believe problem is well described in your letter. Nobody want it to be solved, because it is hard and unpredictable if you use old notebook with any recent mPCIex WiMAX card, even if your notebook has mPCIex slot, it may not be provide enough power for WiMAX card. With Intel WiMAX driver naturally only Intel cards would work. If you just need to run on Linux, you can try madwimax and CMC720 based USB dongle prepared for Clear (I'm not sure will be 100% interop or not). Hope I answered your question. Best regards, Peter Lavee 2010/7/16 Othniel Graichen <othniel at gmail.com> Dear Mailing List: I would purchase an Intel wimax card and Clear subscription for my Dell Inspiron D820. But this seems practically impossible. Ebay sellers say you need to verify that your machine works. Intel doesn't want to talk to end-users and Dell only wants to sell you a NEW notebook. Is there another wimax manufacturer which provides hardware compatible with the Linux Wimax driver? I cant believe this problem is so hard to find the answer. omg _______________________________________________ wimax mailing list wimax at linuxwimax.org http://lists.linuxwimax.org/listinfo/wimax -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
