Wimax Drivers are builtin to the system (Ubuntu9.10 32Bit Server)
I copied the firmware and kernel was able to see the device and created 
wmx0 Device.
i2400m-fw-usb-1.4.sbcf to /lib/firmware
I had to install 2 Packages from Intel to make the device work on the node
Intel-WiMAX-Binary-Supplicant-1.4.0
WiMAX-Network-Service-1.4.0

Wimax Network Service has to be configured and installed.
Installed the linux headers, pkg-config,

./configure --with-i2400m=/usr/src/wimax-i2400m-1.4.1/ \
    --sysconfdir=/etc \
    --localstatedir=/var \
    --mandir=/usr/share/man \
    --prefix=/usr/local

make
make install


For the binary supplicant I just ran the
./install_supplicant.sh install



Start the Wimax Service
/etc/init.d/wimax start
To Get the status of the device
wimaxcu status

Turned The radio on
wimaxcu ron

Scan the for a network
wimaxcu scan wide


Traces from the logfile indicating everything is working as expected
