Tony -- I've been trying to get this working at home ... which is Porter Square in Cambridge ;-) Want to see if anything showed up in your logs about 20 minutes ago? I did a manual scan to see if I could find GENI, but wimaxcu is only showing me the commercial networks (CLEAR, Time Warner, Comcast, Sprint). In any case I've only ever tried telling it to connect to network 2 (CLEAR). But who knows... What WiMAX adapter are you trying to use to connect to GENI? Does anyone living in the Boston area have an Intel WiMAX/WiFi Link 5150 working under Linux? If so ... we should chat. :) David On 01/17/2011 06:11 PM, Tony Michel wrote: > Well, this is probably a long shot. I'm in Boston, too, at FreshPond > in Cambridge.
