The original Cisco 340 driver available on hobbes works with both the 340
and 350 cards.  It just lacks features and isn't the most robust of
drivers.  That driver is also over 4 years old and there is no support
from IBM.  In fact if you tell IBM you have the driver they might get
upset if they actually know what OS/2 is. 

There was a beta of a 340/350 driver from the same developer as the IBM
High Rate and the GenPrism driver.  This driver is about 2 years old.  It
has the advantage of working with both the WiFiStat utility and Christian
Langanke's Wireless LAN Monitor.  It is not new and was never officially
released except to a few of us who had Cisco cards.  It only works with
the PCMCIA variety.

Send me a private email and I can send you the last beta drop that I
received.
