Sujet: [OS2Wireless] good choice for wireless pcmcia card
Date: Fri, 30 Apr 2004 09:29:30 -0400
À: os2-wireless_users@2rosenthals.com

I wonder if the WEP issue is firmware related. Mine seems to work consistently, though admittedly, I don't use WEP at home. It is also possible that certain AP / Wi-Fi card combinations don't play well together with WEP.

Of course, all of the WEP stuff becomes a non-issue for most of us if and when we finally get WPA driver support and ultimately 802.11i (ratified) driver support (and hardware support).

Indeed Andy, everyone is expecting WEP to work with
the CISCO 350 driver, but in fact , most of the times,
it does not work (sometimes it does) strangely enough.
Anyway, I use the driver + mac filtering on my WAP.

I can really recommend you LinkSys WPC11 v4. Supported by the latest GenPRISM + encryption et
cetra.

Best regards, Jonas Buys.

As it doesn't look like I am going to get WEP on my
cisco card I am looking to get one that does.   I don't want to
spend too much though.  I can pick up a Belkin (don't remember the model but
it is listed on os2warp.be as being tested) for $25.  Does anyone
know if this is a good choice?  Possibly know a better choice?  Preferably
one that has drivers that are easily accessible (I have eCS so I can get
the wireless drivers that are available there).  Or if someone knows a
firmware that will allow me to use WEP with the cisco 340?  I am using
it currently with the AP SSID not broadcasting  and have dropped the
router's power to 15mw (will test if I can drop it more).  I don't
think there is anyone around me that has wireless or that would know how
to scan for my AP if they did but I don't like relying on that.
Thanks,
Andy
