How to configure WiMax internet connection in Linux operating system

Hi,

WiMAX connections mostly run with the default network configuration in Local Area Connection.

If your WiMAX CPE is a device other than USB then you just need to connect it via LAN cable with your system. Your system's LAN card must be set to automatically obtain IP from DHCP, This way the built-in DHCP server in your WiMAX CPE will assign you a Local network IP and you will be able to connect to internet.

If your WiMAX CPE is a USB device then you need to install it's driver and software which you can find from the website of device manufacturer. Manufacture name and model number can be found somewhere on the USB device. Afterwards, you will need to set your LAN settings to automatically obtain IP from DHCP.     

Hope it helps.

Regards,
