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