I currently do not have the hardware, but I will be moving to an area with WiMax Coverage soon. I will then fix a nasty 64 bit bug that I have been working on for a while now. I understand you need delete this unfinished driver; however if you could leave it in staging that would be great.

I currently do not have the hardware, but I will be moving to an area with WiMax Coverage soon. Even in those areas, do they still use this specific type of hardware? I thought it was long obsolete. Sprint will offer WiMax coverage through 2015. In addition, there are other ISP's that offer this particulare hardware. Either way, we have until the end of 2015 to get this driver out of staging :).
