I'm trying to use CLEAR Motorola WiMax USB in Ubuntu as there is no support for Linux as yet. I've installed Windows XP as guest in Ubuntu and the version I'm using is 3.2.2. USB is connecting fine in Windows XP but I can't use internet in Ubuntu. Can you please tell me how to do it. Here is the configuration that could help you guys. Thanks in advance.

I'm using Two Network Adapters.

Network
Adapter 1:
PCnet-FAST III (NAT)
Adapter 2:
PCnet-FAST III (Host-only adapter, 'vboxnet0')
