Answer 1

There're no publicly available drivers so far for many WiMAX USB dongles (for my case, Malaysian, Yes "Go" manufactured by Infomark, using GCT chip).

You can do usb_modeswitch (by default, it is enabled, see /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf) to convert it from storage to a GSM modem. But that's the farthest you can (I could) go.

Answer 2

To get the driver installed for Wimax, type the following using the Terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T to open it).

Type in the following commands:

sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get install madwimax
