Good suggestion, Delfí.

Jonas Buys hosts the OS/2 Compatible Hardware List at http://www.jonasbuys.easynet.be/os2/os2chl.txt. That would be the best place for this info. Jonas is on this list; hopefully he'll arrange the space to include such connectivity devices.

FWIW, many of the wireless access points can be configured via SNMP as well as via USB (the USB stuff is usually through a proprietary Windows GUI, which may or may not work through Virtual PC - the connectivity may be an issue here - or via Odin).

I'm willing to set up a Wireless Lan.

I know that if I go to wirelless routers and bridges, there will
be out of the box support to the communication, as there is a
rj-45 cord to connect to an ethernet card, built-in on a OS/2
box or through a port. But the configuration of the wireless
routers, switches and bridges should be on some way usable in
OS/2 (telnet, www,....). And some of them go USB, and not so
easy to use.

There are pcmcia wireless-cards supported under OS/2 (I have
seen the JKacaranda and the Artem in action), but others don't.

Some new laptops come with build wireless ports, and not all of
them have os/2 support.

Perhaps would be usefull to all to construct a list of supported
hardware, even if there is no need to say it (lan equiped
routers).

I have the space to set it up publicily on a webserver, but
there are many places to go, as perhaps the main server of this
list.

Regards to all

Saludos/2
