  USB Sticks, which are available in Russia (we have WiMax operator
"Yota" here) doesn't have "scan" mode at all: you should type-in SSID
and frequency from documentation from provider (Yota). Maybe, they
have one, but it is not documented anywhere. I have some friends of
mine working in Yota as engineers, and they say, that even Yota
engineers doesn't have ANY documentation on these devices, Samsung
refuses any requests for datahseet, etc. Driver I have on hands was
reverse-engineered by snooping USB traffic on Windows.

  Oh, really? I could not find any affordable AP hardware for
 WiMax :(
