Oliver,

I have an A30p.  The IBM2SS14 driver will not load on this system.
I've tried numerous times.  I have to use SS2PCIC1 instead.  [I use an
X-Jack PCCard modem, but the Ethernet and wireless are on a built-in
combo card.]

The description of
"Hibernation utility diskette II for standalone boot"
on the IBM TPad Support site states that hibernation and suspend are
not supported for OS/2 *unless* you have the FAT file system.  Since
eCS requires HPFS and most OS/2 users want HPFS for performance, etc.,
that rules it out.  It also lists supported models:
>- T20(*4), T21(*4), T22(*4), T23(*4)(*2)
>- T30(*2)(*4)
>- T40(*2)(*4), T40p(*5)
The two footnotes:
> - *2: Windows 95 is not supported.
> - *4: OS/2 is supported.
> - OS/2 with FAT file system
>NOTE:
>Supported OS depends on ThinkPad models.

And, under "Power Management" on the T-series TPad driver matrix page,
the Standalone Hibernation Utility is the only topic with OS/2 listed.

On the A-Series matrix, Power Management - Hibernation, there is also
the following:

>Limitations:
>- Hibernation function does not work when OS/2 Boot Manager is installed.
>- Hibernation function does not work with NTFS/HPFS file systems.

Again, the elimination of Boot Manager is another function-killer.
And, HPFS is mentioned again here.

Certainly, if you have other information, I'm sure there are a lot of
people who would like to hear it.  I am already using the T-Series
support for the builtin LAN combo card even though it is not suppose to
be supported.  And, the PRISM support that Jens provided supports the
802.11b feature. But, the Bluetooth and the Lucent modem [if you want
to be generous and call it a modem] are still excess baggage that are
totally useless on this system under OS/2.
