Wimax 4g with intel 6250

[turtles]

I am under the impression that the intel 6250 is wimax (4g) capable.
I found the .pets here for the extra firmware needed and got the card to show up in dmesg.

Code: Select all

sh-4.1# dmesg | grep iwla

However I do not know what I need to do to scan wimax networks?
and I am unable to connect to wpa protected networks, however the network wizard reports success.
it does not show up as a modem.
Any ideas?
From lspci:

EDIT: Well i just hopped over to my Gentoo laptop to check out wimax and here is what it wants to do:

Looks like wpa-supplicant needs to be built with the wimax option. Anyone know if this is the case in puppy?
I added the 2 ubuntu repository's to my puppy package manager but a search does not turn up wimax.
Any ideas?
Edit #2 well it looks like I can connect not via frisbee or the network set up but via wpa_supplicant on cmd line.

There is some interesting output from dmesg when frisbee or networkwizard cant connect.

The above output is repeated 100's of times.

Well the WiMAX part of things are going to be ignored by Puppy so we'll continue with just that for this thread. If you're still having issues with Wi-Fi then please start another one since that would be a separate issue even though its a 2-in-1 card.

I'm sure its possible to get WiMAX working with Puppy but might take a little work.
First, what version of Puppy are you using? We'll need that so we know what kernel version you're running on if its sufficient and what packages we could reasonably use.
Next, type modprobe wimax to try to load the driver module so you know if you need to get that or not.
You'll need to get the rest of the files elsewhere though. I have a WiMAX page with general information on this. I left it generic since would be different per distro but, after you respond, I'll get some more specifics together for ya on how best to get the remaining files for your Puppy & the basic commands.

Thanks I checked out your link and checked out the intel mailing list and found a message here It refers to wimaxd? I believe I am running lucid 528? Is there a wimaxd for puppy?
