Hello Gents,

Looking through the shelves of my local supplier of PC gadgets and gizmo's the CISCO 350 Series AP CPT DIV ANT &128 (AIR-AP352E2C) and 350 Series PC Card & Integrated Diversity Antenna (AIR-PCM352) seem to the best kit available.
I've had a look at the web pages via http://www.os2warp.be/index2.php?name=wifidevs and they indicate that there is a beta driver that should work with this kit, but I thought I'd better check with those on the list before I part with my hard earned cash. Would this kit be a safe bet to work okay with OS/2, any gotcha's I need to know about?

More details. I want to add wireless support to my Thinkpad T20

cheers

I am currently fighting a 340 card and ap.  I have actually at this point flashed them both with 350 firmware and as I understand it the primary difference now is that I don't have as much power from them but I am trying to lower the broadcast power anyway as I don't have much distance to cover (100ft at most) and I want to limit exposure.  The problem I am having is that I can connect without wep but not with wep.  On my winxp partition I can connect with wep fine.  Apparently there is some sort of problem with the firmware vs the sample code/documentation that cisco provides so that the driver is not able to handle wep.  Reading through the list I got the impression that an older firmware that might get wep to work but I didn't see a version (could have easily overlooked it with the sheer volume I was going through). Lewis, is there a way to search the archives?
