I got mine used on eBay for approximately $20 US IIRC... Works fine on a
Dell Latitude C840 with eCS 1.2 and the IBMPRISM driver.

Hello Lewis:
Thanks for your reply. I had intended to answer the
earlier posts but have been unable to free up time to
even check my email. I would like to reassure the
person who suggested that I check the OS2 hdwe site
in Belgium that it was the first place I looked. I
found it confusing because of a tendency to discuss
the "PCMCIA Card"="PC Card"="credit card"=... in the
same paragraphs as the "miniPCI cards"="mPCI cards"=
"Mini PCI cards"="PCI cards"=... , seemingly saying
that there was no OS/2 driver for any of the latter.
Please understand that I find www.os2warp.be to be a
generally very helpful source of information and very
much appreciate the contribution of Jonas Buys and
others to the OS/2 community. At best, I was hoping
to find a grid with the OS/2 support for each
described.
I also checked eComStation.Ru and found what I already
thought I knew, that the 22P7701-08 high rate wireless
LAN Mini-PCI Adapter working well with the Prism driver.
At $241.00US, this costs about a third as much as my
T30 sells for used. Another contributor has suggested
it to be possible to obtain in a used or refurbished
condition at a reasonable price. There was also an
entry for the PRO/Wireless 2200BG stating that there
is no driver for it.
I will try to find a used or refurbished 22P7701-08 as
soon as I can free up some more time.
Best Regards,
- Mark
