    Hi all. I've been reading these forums since I got my m14x(such a joy to even type on the keyboard).

    And I was curious about the intel 6250+WiMax wireless. I already have an existing WiMax phone(Nexus S4G) and was curious if there was some way to use my existing WiMax on my laptop without tethering.
    (i.e. use my WiMax key on my laptop)

    I know I could just tether but using the existing WiMax in the m14x would prove pretty convenient as opposed to tethering.

    i believe you need an entirely separate wimax plan for your laptop

    I was told that, but I see no reason to clone the MAC address of our 4G phones alongside the Wimax keys to properly access it.

    I just don't know if someone has done it.
