Subject: [OS2Wireless] Wireless LAN Monitor vs wired/wireless cmd files

Andy, I did not test with a PC card wired interface, only the onboard 
Intel NIC in my T30 and with my Cisco 350. I had loopback support in all 
modes (one on/one off, both on, both off). If I get a chance, I'll try 
installing a 3Com NIC (what brand of wired NIC are you using?) and test 
again.
