Subject: [OS2Wireless] Crazy Rexx Question

Coming in the next release of XWLAN and (dare I say it...I know I'm 
going to be besieged with curses from some on this list...) the upcoming 
public beta of GenMAC. This survey functionality is really a matter for 
the driver to do; XWLAN presents the information to the user in a 
formatted display. What this means is that users of older drivers (e.g., 
the Cisco 340/350 and probably IBMPRISM and GENPRISM) will still not be 
able to get a survey of available Wi-Fi networks.

I will be talking at Warpstock about some of the new features ahead of 
us with XWLAN and GenMAC (okay, I asked for it; but please, everyone, 
let's start a new thread for arguing the pros and cons of delayed beta 
releases and closed alpha testing, please!). I will post some of that 
info here - after Warpstock - for discussion.
