NM 0.9 will ship with Intel WiMAX support enabled. That should be out this month. What's not solved is the rfkill issue, especially on the 5150 cards where you can't have both enabled at the same time. Not sure how to handle all of that yet... but the 5350 seems to work just fine for me on Clear. Of course if you have a different provider then you'll have to update the channel maps manually; we should find a good solution for that too, even if it's an external tool that does it.
