  Anything we know about is in the server source.  :(

  As with most 3G specs, they're fairly complex.  And not easy to understand.

  It's probably fairly easy to update the WiMAX dictionaries with the latest WiMAX attributes.

  My $0.02 would be to put the relevant calculations into rlm_wimax.  Once you understand the specs, the code shouldn't be *too* bad.

  We're happy to help answer questions about FreeRADIUS.  But I can't promise to spend days reading through 3G specs.  If you can supply patches, we're more than happy to add them to the server.
