Description

The NMSettingWimax object is a NMSetting subclass that describes properties necessary for connection to 802.16e Mobile WiMAX networks.

NetworkManager no longer supports WiMAX; while this API remains available for backward-compatibility reasons, it serves no real purpose, since WiMAX connections cannot be activated.
