Subject: [OS2Wireless] miniPCI wireless cards on eBay

Mark, I recently had some trouble with my IBM tri-mode card (31P9701; not on your list) not wanting to let the T30 boot (I got a "multiple ethernet devices detected" error...I've not seen that one before). There is currently no tri-mode OS/2 driver, but that should be changing soon, when GenMAC is released (everybody: please, no flames concerning the release of the GenMAC driver; it's coming, so please be patient). That said, I don't have any specifics available on which mPCI cards actually work, sorry.

Hello:

There are several miniPCI card models on eBay that may
be compatible with my T30 under OS/2.  Here is a list
with the price asked by at least one seller:

FRU    description                       12P3657 IBM MINI PCI 802.11b WIFI/MODEM COMBO           $29.99       22P7701 IBM High Rate Wireless LAN Mini-PCI for T30        $240.99
26P8159 IBM Thinkpad MINI PCI Wireless Combo Card WIFI         $23.50
26P8472 IBM Mini PCI Wireless Combo Card 802.11B        $22.99
26P8519 802.11b WiFi LAN Mini PCI Card for ThinkPad         $129.75
91P7301 IBM 802.11a/b/g Wireless LAN MINI PCI CARD WIFI     $54.50
92P7406 Cisco Aironet WiFi Wireless 802.11b Mini PCI by IBM*    $29.50           *One eBay description says it is supported.

Other than the 22P7701 that is listed for the T30 on IBM's
site, does anyone know which might actually work under OS/2?

TIA.

Best Regards,

- Mark
