Subject: [OS2Wireless] Cisco 342 PCMCIA card

Won this on ebay for a relatively reasonable (I think) price of $27
including shipping.  Allegedly almost new - it arrived toda, and was
certainly in Cisco package with shrinkwrapped paperwork and CDs.

At the moment, I am still lacking a WAP, and I suspect that the nearest
hotspot is at least 20 miles away.  However, I'm a little bit at a loss as
to where to find OS2 drivers for this little gem.

There are 2 CD's - one for W95 and NT; the other for W98 and W2k.  Looking
at the CDs I don't see anything that even suggests OS2.

Going to the Cisco site, and drilling down to:

http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/Support/browse/psp_view.pl?p=Hardware:Cisco_Aironet_340&s=Software_Installation

There's still no mention of os2.

Turning to:    http://www.os2warp.be/index2.php?name=wifi2#4.3

There's mention of drivers, but not where to find them.

In the meantime, it's somewhat academic until I get a WAP.  Any strong
arguments against a linksys WAP11?  Cisco WAPs are seriously overpriced,
even on ebay (I passed up the one with a crack in the antenna).
