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

(data from the NIF file)
Title = Generic PRISM driver for PCMCIA/PLX cards
