Subject: [OS2Wireless] 'no WLAN card' status image during file transfer

I had the  same problem using a Netgear PCI  card and that driver.  
Supposedly if you remove NetBios and install NetBios over TCP/IP that 
resolves this problem.  But I had other reliability problems since we 
have a 2.4 Ghz phone and this  is the most used computer in the house so 
I just ran a cable to it without testing this solution.  Try it and let 
me know if it works.
