Check out the workaround that EphesiaNZ gave. The chipset probably has no compatibility with any linux distro, so you'll need to find a workaround.
Ah, you will be better with Debian Sid and something like XFCE as it's free from the start and will be as up to date as Ubuntu.
What will be your position with Ubuntu once they adopt Mir as this may take them into non-free territory anyway?
From what I gather, the WiMax driver is possibly not the issue in some cases but, the accompanying toolset for the driver which may be missing/not installed.
Why specifically Debian sid, why not Debian stable? Also I use GNOME, isn't that just as free as XFCE? I don't particularly care for XFCE and I'm a big fan of GNOME 3 (I know there are those who don't like it at all).
Also, I haven't looked into Mir that much but according to Wikipedia it is licensed under GPLv3, so it's still free. It seems to be associated with Unity though, and I don't care for Unity much. I may consider a switch to debian when they adopt Mir, not sure though.
I specified Sid as the packages are fresher than stable and probably the same or close to the versions in Ubuntu. Yeah, use what DE you like, I just suggested XFCE as it's a great combo with Debian - yes, Debian has Gnome3 by default.
No sir, I no longer use Ubuntu. It was quite buggy. Do you know how to corrrect that issue in Mageia 3?

Yet another reason I don't like Canonical. >.<
That might be for the best, too. It'll leave some users hanging, but there are quite simply too many distros out there.Yeah, the Ubuntu of old has been replaced by the whims of shareholders I guess. I just hope distros like Mint migrate to a pure Debian base sometime in the future as Ubuntu's demise (if it happens) will take a lot of third party distros with it.

What else? I didn't include Mint because its versions are based on Ubuntu or Debian.
