Is there a way to see verbose debugging details of your WiMax chip? Maybe in dmesg? At this point I would look into that, or packet sniffing. I'm not sure the N810WME WiMax chip supports packet sniffing though.

Licensed frequencies and OFDM make for a very secure connection.


Any ideas why i can't get wimax detected with my NIT?
Possibly 802.16d vs. 802.16e?

Does the NIT support OFDM? And what is OFDM?

WiMAX uses OFDM.

So i called clearwire again, i spoke to advanced tech support this time. They said the n810W should work in the very near future. i asked "what do you mean by that?" he said within 1-2 months. =)

Doesn't sound very technical. What's the holdup?

What kind of gibberish is that from Clearwire? OFDM is a modulation scheme (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) and is used in WiFi (802.11a/g) as well as other transmission schemes and has nothing to do with security. Whether they operate in licensed or unlicensed bands has nothing to do with security either. If the signal is there someone can scan it and intercept packets.

i got that off their website's Q & A. i was confused with the OFDM line. i'm not experienced with linux or command line so i'm clueless on how to sniff wimax packets

Just like I thought: Clearwire may be technology agnostic--

"Clearwire currently operates pre-WiMAX networks in 46 US markets. We plan to upgrade most of these markets to mobile WiMAX technology in 2009."

That was KEY. no wonder why i can't find it when i do a scan.
