Connect to Yota from Linux

    Good day. Today I’ll talk about how to connect a Linux device to a Yota network. In my case, this is Asus EEE 1003, with EEEbuntu 3 Standart installed (which is a modified Ubuntu 9.04) on board. If your Intel chip is responsible for WiMax's work (you can find out by running lspci) - this recipe will help you. The distribution does not play a special role.

    We need the kernel source and header files (in Ubunty, the linux-source and linux-headers packages), as well as the contents of the linuxwimax.org website : WiMAX driver, i2400m firmware, WiMAX Network Service and Intel WiMAX Binary Supplicant.

    Unpack the downloaded in / usr / src (or any other place, but in this case, follow the paths in the examples), after which we proceed to the installation process. First, install the driver on the device: Now copy the i2400m-fw-usb-1.4.sbcf file from the i2400m-fw archive to / lib / firmware. After the modprobe i2400m command (or after reboot) you should have the device / dev / wmx0. If it appears, you are on the right track. Now you need to install the control binding for the driver, but first install the libnl-dev package. Next - put Supplicant. Everything is simple here: True, for some reason it went to / usr / local / lib, and not / usr / lib - I corrected it with handles (copying it corny). And the last thing we need is to get Yota's configs

    $sudo su
    #cd wimax-i2400m-1.4.1
    #make
    #sudo make install
    #sudo depmod -a






    #cd WiMax-Network-Service-1.4.0
    #./configure --prefix=/usr/ --with-i2400m=/usr/src/wimax-i2400m-1.4.1 --localstatedir=/var --enable-debug
    #make
    #make install




    #./install_supplicant install


    . LJ user icelord carefully laid them out, for which many thanks to him. We upload the received files (we do not need the patch) in / usr / share / wimax /.

    Well, that's all. Now a little about how to steer it all.

    To start: To stop (and switch to WiFi mode): Miscellaneous: wimaxcu scan # Scan available networks wimaxcu info device # Get device data. wimaxcu status link # Connection information And finally, a little hint: I struggled with the “blind” adapter problem for a long time (I knew that there was a network, but the system did not see it point blank) - I tried various methods, moved to another kernel, reassembled the driver - without sense. The solution was to reset the adapter settings: After which, the next network scan showed the presence of Yota.
    /usr/bin/wimaxd #Запускаем демона
    /usr/bin/wimaxcu ron #Переключаем адаптер в Wi-Max режим(Wi-Fi при этом потеряется).
    /usr/bin/wimaxcu connect network 15 #Подключаемся к Yota(15 - это id сети Yota)




    /usr/bin/wimaxcu roff

    I wish you a connection and thank you for your attention.
