The linuxwimax.org domain, registered by the Linux Foundation,
no longer has any DNS entries.  Locate a copy on archive.org and
update the documentation.

Hmm...I worry a bit about pointing into archive.org; it's not a sign that
we're giving our readers current information.  Did anybody ask the LF what
happened to that page?

More to the point, though:

If you go into that page, you find that they don't appear to have archived
any of the tarballs, so the promised firmware isn't actually there.  So
we're not really helping people by pointing there.  It does appear that
this firmware can be found in the linux-firmware repository, though.  So
that seems like where we should be pointing people...?

Thanks,
