WiMAX stuff installed, How do I use it ?

Okay, google and everywhere seems to be overloaded with info on how to install the wimax fw, but now that it is installed I can not find out how to use it.

# ls /usr/bin |grep wimax                                Linux Powered
wimaxcu
wimaxd
wimaxll
wimaxll-reset
wimaxll-rfkill
wimaxll-wait-for-state-change
wimax_monitor
wimax-tools-version

So, what do I do? Or could you post me a link to the instructions?

Okay, I have gotten this far. How do I connect to one?

# wimaxcu ron                                            Linux Powered
SW Radio is turned ON.

# wimaxcu scan wide                                      Linux Powered

Okay, I think this is how I connect, but I keep getting "Connection failure"

Arg, I give up. I'll wait another year, and try agin. Owe, sooo close though. I can scan and everything now. Maybe if the linuxwimax.org guys ever get their website backup, I'll  try agin with the packages that match the md5sums of the ones in the AUR.
