Kernel Log: What's new in 2.6.29 - Part 2: WiMAX
In Part 2 of the Kernel Log's coverage of the major changes happening in the main development branch for the Linux kernel 2.6.29 release, we look at a major new addition to Linux's networking capability, WiMAX support.
USB sub-system maintainer Greg Kroah-Hartman has brought the WiMAX stack, developed primarily by Intel developers in the framework of the Linux WiMAX project, into the Linux main development branch.
The stack gives Linux 2.6.29 a basic infrastructure for WiMAX wireless broadband networking technology based on the i2400m USB driver, which was also developed by the WiMAX project and concurrently integrated into the kernel. The WiMAX stack communicates with the WiMAX Connection 2400 chip in Intel Wireless WiMAX/WiFi Link 5150 and 5350 (codename: Echo Peak) WLAN/WiMAX modules, found mainly in newer Centrino notebooks.
