Subject: [OS2Wireless] T30 wifi  suddenly only works on boot and "card not


I've in fact re-installed ecomstation 1.2 on this Thinkpad just to be sure that it isn't a corruption problem. Same thing -- I wind up with the same problem as was described.

I've set power management on the Wifi card to disabled. Still the same thing. There's power management in the BIOS but it says nothing about Wifi. I'm not sure which version of APM I'm using. I tried suspending the Thinkpad and then waking it up, hoping that the WIFI card will wake up too. No cigar :-(.

P.S. I'm writing to you with WIFI on my Thinkpad under os/2, so it's working now.

At first blush, I'd say that you should not use WiFiStat and XWLAN on the same machine. That said, I, too, believe this to be a power management issue. Has anyt
hing changed insofar as drivers are concerned? What version of APM.SYS are you running? Any power management settings in the BIOS?
