Gyusun,

Which Linux distribution are you using?  If you are configuring and
building the kernel yourself, you have to make sure that the i2400m
driver is built and loaded.  Here is an excerpt from my lsmod:

# lsmod | grep i2400
i2400m_usb             35620  0 
i2400m                122035  1 i2400m_usb
wimax                  29670  1 i2400m

And here's my rfkill list:

# rfkill list
0: tpacpi_bluetooth_sw: Bluetooth
	Soft blocked: yes
	Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: no
2: i2400m-usb:8-3:1.0: WiMAX
	Soft blocked: yes
	Hard blocked: no

I'm using a Thinkpad X301 with a 5350 chip, on Gentoo Linux.  On Gentoo
the wimax software is available under the package "wimax-tools".

If you are in Korea, it would be great if you could get WiBro
working :)  I'm in Japan, and unfortunately the provisioning software
is Windows-only ...

Good luck!
