WiMAX_VB.bin

I guess the next question is how do I know what to put in there. I know
our channel plan and I have our center frequencies but I'm not sure how
I should represent them in those files. The existing ones look like
they're based on a range of frequencies rather than just a center
frequency.

So if I have a center frequency of 3415, do I add that to the file as
<FirstFreq>340500</FirstFreq> and <LastFreq>341500</LastFreq>?

As I mentioned previously, we have IOTed with Intel and our channel plan
has been submitted to them; as far as I know it is now included in the
Windows provisioning databases so I guess it's only a matter of time
before it percolates down to the Linux drivers. Any idea how long that
normally takes?

Thanks,

Dermot
