Hi, David.

I was disappointed to find out that the IBM High Rate PCMCIA card was only 802.11b.  I have just switched out my AP to a 11g and wanted to buy a higher rate card to replace my Cisco Aironet 342.  So, my questions for the group are;

1. Is there a card and driver for OS2 in 11g?
 

Not as yet, AFAIK. You should check over at http://www.os2warp.be/index2.php?name=wifidrvs to see what's available, and keep checking in, as Jonas and the team are usually current with their postings.

2. Is it available in 16 bit?  I still use my trusty old Toshiba.

 

Which 802.11g card is 16-bit? I'm not familiar with the particular implementations.

I hate for this new AP to be wasting its capabilities.

 

Don't worry! It's only a matter of time, and besides, for browsing the net, 11Mbps is more than adequate (if you're sitting on a broadband link approaching 11Mbps, then that's a different story!). Of course, if you are on a Wi-Fi segment of a 100Mbps LAN, then you might want the additional bandwidth for file transfers and such, or if you have several Wi-Fi devices, 100Mbps does divide by 10 more comfortably, but overall, 11Mbps is fine. Besides, 11g does a theoretical maximum of 54Mbps, but realistically, you'll see more along the lines of 20-23Mbps, assuming there are no 11b devices in the air (in that case, the whole segment slows to 11Mbps).

What AP did you get? Inquiring minds, you know...
