The FCC - the government agency that certifies U.S. and authorizes devices that make use of radio waves - has recently given the green light to market a card produced by Intel that could cope with WiFi and WiMax, called 5350 WiFi / WiMAX combo.
The file in question has a pinout physically compatible with the slots in the MacBook and MacBook Pro, currently used with traditional Airport cards. However, it is unlikely that at present can run on these configurations. First, because currently there are no drivers for Mac, but only for Windows; second, because the antenna integrated WiFi may be unsuitable for that purpose.
In any event, given the close relationship between Apple and Intel nothing that soon we will see implemented this technology on Mac rumor and want to September already introduced products are compatible with WiMAX.
At that point, ironically, lacking only one thing: the network coverage.
