1 There are no known users of this driver as of October 2020, and it will
2 be removed unless someone turns out to still need it in future releases.
4 According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WiMAX_networks, there
5 have been many public wimax networks, but it appears that many of these
6 have migrated to LTE or discontinued their service altogether. As most
7 PCs and phones lack WiMAX hardware support, the remaining networks tend
8 to use standalone routers. These almost certainly run Linux, but not a
9 modern kernel or the mainline wimax driver stack.
11 NetworkManager appears to have dropped userspace support in 2015
12 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747846, the www.linuxwimax.org
13 site had already shut down earlier.
15 WiMax is apparently still being deployed on airport campus networks
16 ("AeroMACS"), but in a frequency band that was not supported by the old
17 Intel 2400m (used in Sandy Bridge laptops and earlier), which is the
18 only driver using the kernel's wimax stack.
