I have a IBM2SS14, PCMCIA, AUTODRV2, and $ICPMOS2 with a /G parameter. I also have
    PCMSSDIF.SYS (remmed out due to conflict with Dani)
    PCM2SRAM.SYS
    FLSH2MTD.SYS
    PCM2FLSH.SYS
    PCM2ATA.ADD /S:2 /!DM /NOBEEP
    OS2PCARD.DMD

As far as DANI, it looks like this:

DANIATAPI.FLT /VLL /A:1 /U:0 /TYPE:ZW
DANIS506.ADD /VLL /PCS /A:1 /BAY

There is something wrong with this, as I can't swap Ultrabay devices without it beeping a lot and the
device not working. Dani's doc says that I need to suspend the TP to do the change, but how does one
do that in eCS 1.1? I have the APM.SYS driver loaded.  

I can pull the PCMCIA card in and out and have WiFi say "No Card Detected" when it's out.

Yes, they appeared to work the same.

well, I'm using the one that was posted in this list as a command:

Ifconfig lan0 down
ifconfig lan0 delete
dhcpmon -t
route -fh
arp -f
dhcpstrt -i lan1 -d 0

 Is 'ifconfig lan1 up' required? When I look at the DHCP monitor, it shows lan1 as being active.

Which file would show this?

In the Protocol.ini file in the IBMCOM directory,  all the lines with "Bindings ="  are '
E100BEOS1_nif,,MYCARD_nif ' with the double comma, is this an error or is the local loopback the space
and the wireless card LAN2?
