Zadeva: OS/2 Wireless Users List: 802.11b devices that don't require drivers

Since the hot topic has been OS/2 drivers for wireless networking, I
thought I'd repost this tip that appeared in the December 2002 VOICE
Newsletter listing some 802.11b devices that require no drivers at all to
work.  They just connect to your network cards RJ45 port.  Perhaps
eventually there will be something similar as far as 802.11a and 802.11g
devices:



Oct 19, 2002 - From Timothy Sipples of IBM, here is an answer to many
questions I get about how to get wireless networking going under OS/2 on a
desktop system:

    In addition to the 802.11b adapters suggested in past OS2VOICE
newsletters, I've found several options which work with any standard
ethernet-equipped device, including PCs running eComStation or OS/2 Warp.

    These ethernet-to-wireless devices include the D-Link AirPro DWL-810
and Linksys WET11. Variously known as "wireless bridges" or "station
adapters," you should find them for less than U.S. $100. They're
increasingly popular among game console owners who want to go wireless.

    The above devices are universally compatible with any system that has
a standard ethernet adapter. No special driver is required. Most if not
all are configurable using any web browser.
