I've had similar issues from time to time (with various NICs), where replacing them with the same model yielded expected results. I have spares on hand of the Intel cards, but I would have to look to see if I have any of the 3Com units (which were not supported under OS/2 when new). Of course, the cost of shipping one or two to you would outweigh the cost savings vs picking up a spare on eBay from a UK shipper, most likely... Thanks Lewis - I suppose you don't know if any of the Intel ones have the supported modem? Not off the top of my head. The 3Com card has been sitting in an anti static bag for since I bought the T21 - I doubt it has been powered for more than a few hours in all it's life - Can electronics still go bad doing nothing? Not in my experience, but of course, you don't know how it was performing before. I don't see why it would cost much, a mini PCI card can only weigh a few grams. True, and I will check into it for you; easy enough. One of the things I am going to try is another test with Knoppix and see what sort of speed that gives. Also if anyone can tell me how to get it to work with Genmac that might be worth a whirl. I just took the card out to check and it is a 3CN3AC1556B and as I said, PCI scan gives 3C556 as device ID. I found a Google hit that talked about messing with the BIOS PNP settings WRT the MAC address funnies but I can't find a relevant setting to tweak. I'd have to look at a T2x to even jog my memory as to what settings are available in the BIOS. I'll do that, though. -- Lewis ------------------------------------------------------------ Lewis G Rosenthal, CNA, CLP, CLE Rosenthal & Rosenthal, LLC Accountants / Network Consultants New York / Northern Virginia www.2rosenthals.com eComStation Consultants www.ecomstation.com Novell Users Int'l www.novell.com/openenterpriseserver Need a managed Wi-Fi hotspot? www.hautspot.com ------------------------------------------------------------ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <os2-wireless_users@2rosenthals.com>.
