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:
