    Hello, I purchased 6250 card (622ANXHMW non ES) for my notebook (Compal IFL90) this summer from eBay hoping that I could use it with the only WiMAX provider in my country. This is my forth WiFi adapter, after some atheros -> 3945 -> 4965.
    After getting the card and trying scanning for networks, it didn't find any. The question is my card faulty, or not all WiMAX networks are compatible with it?

    Also I began experiencing some strange permanent system freezes and just before system freeze network connection disappear for several seconds. I could be some incompatibility with drivers thought, should reinstall windows later.
