Comment (by kallisti5):

 Progress so far:
 * Device baseband chip detected
 * Binary vendor configuration loaded into struct for access
 * Flash or EEPROM non-volatile memory detected (verified)
 * Non-volatile memory initialized (verified)
 * DDR memory initialized (verified)
 * vendor config pushed to device
 * firmware pushed to device
 * Device CPU booted
 * MAC address read from non-volatile memory (verified)
 * When device is allowed to complete initialization...
   * a new network interface shows up with the correct MAC address
   * any bytes sent to the interface result in a "WiMAX connection not up"
 warning
   * removal of usb device causes a crash (looking into it)

 TODO:
 * Get device LED's working via GPIO
 * Implement generic WiMAX interface in driver / control application
 * lots
