I'm thinking of purchasing a wireless card so I can make use of the wireless capabilities of the Linksys 54G router I recently bought. Hope for you the device has 11b + 11g capacity... What is the easiest (and cheapest) combination of hardware and software which I can get, today and is there any prospect that a 11g combination is likely to appear? Easy to answer: there is none of 11g driver available, so it is a nono. Some people say it's coming, but that could be a long wait or even a wit for ever ... who knows. machine is using a Xircom Cardbus RBE-100 PCMCIA card for its NIC...Hoping to just plug in a wireless replacement. At present, the only option is to purchase a second hand 11b card (assuming your router does 11b). I have not bought, nor am I likely to buy Software Choice or eCS...although a recent UDF.IFS would be nice I really do think that my PVR will be Linux based... Wouldn't give you 11g anyway. SO? What is the easiest route using a PCMCIA card? 1) Buy an Artem card and use it's driver? (Does that have a Linux and Win driver? Yes, yes and yes ... and almost the only option (probable second hand) there is. Mensys is still listing them: http://shop.mensys.nl/cgi-bin/db2www/mnl_art2.d2w/report?catname=WirelessPCCard&username=&i1=&o=&x=03:14:03&Search=JACARANDA&C=400 but it would surprise me if they would have a single card in stock. 2) Find one of the magic Cisco 350 cards...and then where do I find the OS/2 driver which will work with it...? Links anyone? Very tricky for quite a few reasons. 3) Find a someothercard with a Prism?/Orinoco chipset? Yes. 4) Does it change things if I decide to get a Thinkpad T40 or X30...what exactly are the distinguishing markers between the different min-PCI cards and where do I find drivers for them? TP 40 has an internal wirelles intel ... some say drivers are "coming", but that could be a long wait (if not a wait for ever). 5) Is anyone trying to make an OS/2 version of ndiswrapper? Should I wait for a .11g card and driver combo? If you are sure you'll live for eternity you sure could afford it to wait .. :-) -- Groeten uit Gent, Kris =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 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).
