[sf-lug] Having trouble activating my WiMax adapter

[Alison Chaiken]

Eric, without knowing anything in particular about WiMax or Mint, I'd
have a look at rfkill:

Also, could there be an "airplane mode" button on the device that's
pushed by default?    (Don't mean to insult your intelligence; these
are the means of investigation I'd start with.)
