ubuntu wimax 6250
I need to install the wimax 6250 driver on a toshiba a665. I downloaded the driver from Intel's sight but I do not know what to do with it. Please help if you can, Ubuntu 12.04.

Do you think 32 or 64 bit would make a difference?

Not sure why but the modprobe seems to have done it, thanks.
modprobe -v didn't return anything...
here is dmesg, it looks like it detects it...

Not sure why modprobe didn't return anything but it started working after that.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Please post the output from uname -r on your system, and we can take it from there
