I hope you are asking this for OS/2, since I already
got a lot of questions this week about wireless and
OS/2.  I don't know why all this come this week,
neither can't I imagine some good reason to use that
inferior OS.
However, for OS/2, I'll give it a try:
Have you got the "Generic PRISM" driver?  Why don't
you just try it out?   Just find the IDs and try...  I
believe Jens once tested another embedded system with
the driver and I apparently worked (don't know which
though).
If the windows drivers of that product (w9x) have
*.inf files, mail them to me, and I'll have a look at
them; I've learned that these files are a great
start-point for technical details :d  The only thing
which I like about win, are these files ;)

You mean those in the Edit dialog box of MPTS?  The
option of the .NIF file?  In that case, keep an eye on
www.os2warp.be/wifi, since I'm working on a PDF to
replace IBMs readmes and to have extended readmes for
all other drivers (of which I know and have).

Only hope this could have helped you; I guess Jens
will indeed be able to give you a more precise aswer
to these questions.


Cherio, or whatever it may be written,
