 Truly amazing, Mark. I think Serenity should press IBM for these
drivers. I mean, if an OEM license doesn't entitle them to the latest
driver technology, I don't know what would.

Currently, I know of no other cards with OS/2 drivers. The latest response from IBM Germany to my inquiry after the IBM High Rate Wireless card drivers is already posted here on the list.

As per usual these days, this is very frustrating...

The VOICE web master was told by IBM to remove the link to the Cisco 340
driver that we had on the Warpdoctor site.  They stated that the driver
was written for a private customer and was not available to anyone else. IBM Austin has had the GA version of the IBM High Rate Wireless driver for
almost a year now and has refused to release it.

So what's my point?  If someone downloads one of these drivers from hobbes
(or anywhere else) and has a problem, if they complain to IBM, IBM's
repsonse will almost certainly be to ask the site to remove the driver.

Does anyone know of any publicly available wireless card drivers (other
then the Artem of course) for OS/2-eCS that IBM can't put the screws to? I've been recommending the Artem cards when asked, but for users outside
of Europe these cards are on the expensive side.  Especially compared to
the cheap and widely available Linksys, Belkin and others.
