Sorry for the delay... According to the IBM site, general information about the T30, specifically dealing with connectivity: * Selected models will have Intel Wireless and modem Mini PCI combo cards * Selected models will have CISCO Mini PCI card * Selected models will have Bluetooth communication daughter card From the looks of the Device Driver matrix, they're referring to a Cisco wireless mini PCI. They also list the standard Intel Pro/100 VE for the onboard NIC, and the IBM High Rate Wireless card, all for the T30 family. I wonder what Intel's site says about OS/2 drivers (need I ask)? I'm wondering if Timur Tabi might be interested in working up a driver or two. He's definitely got the knowledge to do one, and frankly, while I charge the same hourly rate as Larry for what I do, I just can't see justifying that kind of overall cost for a driver for a single card. There's got to be a better way.

Wonder what Steve Mastrianni is doing these days? Anyone know where he might be?
