Subject: [OS2Wireless] Finding wireless connections

Hello Neil:

I have almost exactly the same setup.  So...

Does the XWLAN widget provide a display of information that
is not so eaily observed on the desktop icon?  I could never
get the widget to install, or at least to appear, so I just
gave up and installed the traditional way.

TIA,

- Mark
