(for background, the ITP for wimax-tools is just pending an upload after sponsoring. Not really blocked by anything, but NM support for Wimax is theoretically blocked by the Wimax SDK.) There isn't another ITP for the wimax SDK (which I'd call "wimax" as a source package). Feel free to create one, or we can collaborate to help this go faster. The main task would be to get the wpasupplicant patches accepted upstream. As for the related bug in wpasupplicant: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=655479 Note that wimax itself seems rather dead as a software project, hence the lack of clear progress on this. linuxwimax.org appears largely down if you're looking for the files and documentation; though they are available in a git tree on freedesktop and mirrored elsewhere (see lists.linuxwimax.org).
