Hey all,

I'm trying to get a WiMAX card to work for testing purposes. The card I have is an Intel "Centrino Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250". I know Intel dropped support for the card, but the kernel still has the drivers. I think I'm close, but it's still not working.

I believe my main problem is the fact `rfkill` is reporting the card is soft blocked. When I try to unblock the card, `dmesg` reports



i2400m_usb 1-1.1:1.0: 'RF Control' (0x4602) command failed: -84 - invalid state (3)


I've tried multiple things, being near a WiMAX base station, disabling the wifi on the card, among others. I have compiled the wimax tools, network service, and other related components as well. When trying to start the wimaxd daemon, it just reports



E: RFKILL: operation failed: -115
E: wimaxll_msg_write: generic netlink ack failed: -115


Here is my wireless-info report

Thanks!
