Latest kernel in Karmic including module for i2400m, but without binary firmware this module fully unusable. Firmware from Intel can be downloaded from http://www.linuxwimax.org/Download

Binaries licensed under Intel Free Distribution Binary (maybe this is target for linux-firmware-nonfree package).
