Well worth doing - very nice to be able to use the laptop without wires..

 

I do have a Jacaranda Blue PCMcia card, and the laptop is T41.

I presume we can't use under OS/2 the inbuild T41 wireless facilities,
and I have already noticed, anything I'll put in a PCICIA slot takes irq
7, so I only can have one at a time in the PC. Very inconvenient.

Now, how do I start?
   

Well - not sure what chipset the Jacaranda Blue uses - but if it's a
Prism it should work with the available OS/2 drivers.

 

Sometime soon, hopefully an update to Genmac to work with Wireless Winxx
drivers should be available and you may be able to use the T41 wireless
facilities (Daniela has already reported it was working with here Intel
2200BG laptop at 55MBps).
 

Do yourself a favour and get the Xworkplace WLan widget - makes
 

configuration much easier.  Either assign a static IP or let your router
or Wireless Access Point assign a DHCP address.

 

Does your existing router have wireless functionality or you need to buy
a new one?
