Samsung NC10 NetBook

The firmware, tools , network service and the patch were downloaded from ​LinuxWimax

1. Compile a Linux Kernel to Version greater than 2.6.35 and reboot into that kernel.
   

2. Install the i2400m firmware
   Download the firmware 1.5.1 version.
   Untar the source , cd to the directory and
   

     install -o root -g root -m 0644 *.sbcf /lib/firmware
   

3. Install the Wimax Tools
   

First install libnl and libnl's development packages

   apt-get install libnl libnl-dev
   cd ~Download/wimax-tools-1.4.3
   export I2400M=/lib/firmware/
   ./configure
   make
   make install

4. Build the libeap library
   To do that first install openssl libraries.
   

   apt-get install libglobus-openssl libglobus-openssl-dev libssl-dev 
   

Download the Supplicant from ​wpa-supplicant Untar and unzip the download

cd ~Downloads/wpa_supplicant-0.7.3
patch -p1 < PATH/wpa_supplicant-0.7.3-generate-libeap-peer.patch 
make -C src/eap_peer
make -C src/eap_peer install
ldconfig 

Please do not forget to run ldconfig otherwise you will not be able to build the Wimax-Tools from Intel.

5. Build the Intel-Wimax-Tools Untar and unzip the downloaded source and

   cd ~Downloads/wimax-1.5.1
   ./configure --with-linux=/usr --with-libwimaxll=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --prefix=/usr --enable-instrument --with-wimax-db-bin=/var --with-ver-info-bin=/var
   make
   make install
   

This new configuration with the .bin enabled allows us now to modify the NDns parameters on the fly by modifying WiMAX_Def.bin and WiMAX_DB.bin files located in /var/lib/wimax directory.
You can edit the file and restart the wimaxd service to see the changes. The GENI files are included here.

If you wish to follow the older model of modifying the NDnSAgentConfig_forDriver.xml and recompiling for every change can still do so.
