Please comment freely on the |contents hereof before we make it "official." I want this to be as |all-inclusive as possible. Lewis, Thanks for this important undertaking. In response to your request for comments: - Need for "what is DHCP", including a remark that this should be first choice over static IP - Mention that USB wifi does not work presently with OS/2 - Explain which cards will require/accept cardbus, rather than pcmcia. Clear the confusion around this. - You say "the card is simply added to ...", but added by who or what (program?)? May I suggest for clarity: "Simply add the card to ..." - You refer to the OS/2 Wireless Users mailing list, but I cannot se the corresponding link. Lastly can I offer the following card/driver couple: ============== Card: (data copied from the card) NETGEAR 802.11B Wireless PC Card 16-bit PCMCIA MA401 MAC 0030AB19105E Driver: Source: non-public; from the os2Warp.be site (data from the NIF file) Title = Generic PRISM driver for PCMCIA/PLX cards Version = 2.0RC4 DriverName = PRISMC$ Operation: computer: TP600E OS: eCS1.1 WEP is operational From: mg@pmc.polytechnique.fr =============== Thanks again for this splendid effort Maurice GUERON, BIOP/PMC, Ecole polytechnique, 91128 Palaiseau, France phone: (33/0) 169 334 174 fax: (33/0) 169 333 004 e-mail: mg@pmc.polytechnique.fr In case of problems only, use : gueron@idf.ext.jussieu.fr =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to steward@2rosenthals.com with the command "unsubscribe os2-wireless_users" in the body (omit the quotes).
