The version of GenMAC that is currently available on os2warp.be appears =
to
only support certain wired NICs.  I'm hoping that this new version =
becomes
available soon.  I'd like to be able to upgrade my OS/2 notebook to =
802.11g
instead of 802.11b.  I'm quite willing to pay a reasonable license fee =
for a
working 802.11g solution on OS/2.

Or did you think (let's say one year earlier) that we once would have=20
11g or 11a support under OS/2 ? Frankly I thought this would be very=20
unlikely, but hey, now genmac is there and we have that all, and XWLAN=20
supports the genmac interface completely. There are WLAN features that=20
are not supported by genmac/XWLAN from the beginning - we though we=20
better would ship quickly anything that is working. For example WPA=20
encrpytion is not yet supported, (this one needs extra software support=20
and is a tough one!), but 64/128 bitWEP works with no problems. OTOH=20
scanning for WLANs in range _is_ supported by both packages, this is a=20
feature that was often requested.

If everything goes well, I expect to see a public beta of Genmac and=20
XWLAN at begin of November, and a release before Warpstock Europe (where =

I will demo it) or at least shortly after.
