Dear Experts I have a USB WIMAX device which I have got from a friends few days ago, I can't seem to find the driver online for this device as my friend has lost the CD which came with it. Bcs200 Mobile Wimax Driver Download. Photobie to design eye-catching Photo Templates and distribute Bostitch Electric Stapler 02210 User Manual in free Photobie. Dear all, I am looking for a driver for this USB Wimax card I bought. It came with a subscription for a WiMax company in Holland called aerea.nl. The USB casing has written on it: Alcatel-Lucent 9799 MIMO USB Dongle, 3.5Mhz, P/N: 1AF16115ABAA However, the o/p of lsusb -v shows that this is actually a USB device made by Beceem. The kernel on my laptop is 2.6.28-11-generic Ubuntu i686 I installed the s/w that came with the card with WINE. Its a connection manager and the GUI installs and runs. Of course, it does not pick up the card. These USB drivers come with the card, and the ones that relate to the hardware ID are: ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Alcatel-Lucent/WCM/Driver/USB# ls -1 bcmbusctr.cat BcmBusCtr.inf BcmBusCtr.sys I have loaded the BcmBusCtr into NDISwrapper but do not know how to test that it might work. # /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper -l bcmbusctr: driver installed Note that I think this ought to say driver installed, hardware present. The other drivers that came with the s/w are here. Drxvi314.cat drxvi314.inf drxvi314.sys macxvi200.bin macxvi.cfg (I tried to load the drxvi314 just in case, but got invalud driver error or something.) Does anyone know of anyway of getting this to run on Linux? # lsusb -v Bus 002 Device 008: ID 198f:0210 Beceem Communications Inc. Device Descriptor: bLength 18 bDescriptorType 1 bcdUSB 2.00 bDeviceClass 255 Vendor Specific Class bDeviceSubClass 255 Vendor Specific Subclass bDeviceProtocol 255 Vendor Specific Protocol bMaxPacketSize0 64 idVendor 0x198f Beceem Communications Inc. If you google on this linux Beceem BCS200 Mobile WiMAX you find that is like so many of these devices: it needs switching to be seen as a modem.that now seems addressed in usb_modeswitch this post says if you plug the device in to a usb port and type lsusb in a terminal; if you see '198f:0220', then your device is in the right mode already. It was switched automatically. The last couple of posts in the above thread; give advice on how to build a driver; as a kernel module; so it seems to me: you need two things 1) usb_modeswitch 2) driver in the kernel and this link is quoted by Josh in the above thread; the driver bcm is coming soon; and can be built if you so wish... I have figured out how to install the wifi drivers, though it takes a little 'positive' hacking for this fix. What has to be done is to get the files manually out of the install file when you install the program. Run the setup, and wait for it to extract them to a temporary directory. Open an explorer file, and check in your options that you can view hidden and system files (the Temp directory is a hidden one). Now, locate the Sprint_CM.exe file in your users Appdata Local Temp directory (it stores differently each load up time). When located, Alt-click (or right-click for most users) and click 'Open File Location.' Now you have the whole uncompressed install, complete with drivers for most broadband cards! Copy the whole directory to a non-temp file or drive (I used a spare MicroSD card, but what works), and stop the install. Now searching for the drivers is easy. Here's the bad news. If you are going to activate the modem, do not use Windows 7 (yet). It freezes during this, so recommend using 2000/XP/Vista. Before you install the Windows 7 Upgrade, while you are still running on Vista, uninstall the Smartview from your computer then visit this link and download and install the Smartview program. Notice in the compatability it shows Win 7. Now when you do install Win 7, install it as an 'UPGRADE' not as 'CUSTOM'. Installing it as custom will delete all of the Vista Drivers thus making the U300 unusable. By selecting UPGRADE Win 7 will copy the Vista Drivers and you will be able to use the U300. I found this out by experience. I installed Win 7 as 'Custom' for a full wipe and clean install then when I would install Smartview, Win 7 blocked the installation of the Vista 64 Drivers, thus making the U300 as unusable. I did a factory reset of my laptop, reinstalling Vista 64 and downloaded and installed the Smartview for the Sierra 598U. I then installed Win 7 using the upgrade option and BAM! I was up and running. Hope this helped a little. Groovedaddy, I can open up the SSV file using WINRAR and replace the drivers in the Beceem 5.2.4.4 directory with the ones you provided and then try to do a normal installation from the expanded SSV.
