Subject: OS/2 Wireless Users List: 802.11b OS/2 d

Oliver, is that "hot swap" or "warm swap"? I was under the impression 
(haven't tried it yet) that the system needed to go down to standby in 
order to swap UltraBay drives. We need someone to write a nice WPS 
interface to Dani's drivers like the 'doze versions have: "It is now 
safe to remove your XYZ drive."

BTW, there was some mention either here or in OS2-ISP (I think it may 
have been Al Stephan) about NICs not waking up again after standby. 
Since then, I inadvertently left my T20 running on battery while my 
Cisco 350 drained it (almost) dry. The system went into suspend (hey, 
power management that works!), but when I awakened it, my network 
connection was down & I had to reboot (I had a pulse on the card, but 
even MPTSTART wouldn't get IP flowing again). My wife's A22m doesn't 
seem to have a problem. I know there was some update to the e100b NIC 
driver related to this problem, and I upgraded mine recently; however, 
this happened with the Cisco card, and both machines are using the same 
(not-so-strictly-legal) build of the Cisco driver. Any thoughts about 
what might not be allowing the card to come online again?
