I don't find any GenMAC RealTech drivers, true?

I think you mean Realtek ??

Something like that.

The GenMac wrapper version 1.7 is listed as supporting the following:

Device : 10ec:8168 "Rtl 8168 GigaBit"
Device : 10ec:8169 "Rtl 8169 GigaBit"
Device : 10ec:8180 "Rtl 8180 Wlan"

Any bets on what it would do with an 8139?

Is it the intent\hope of GenMac, on a dual mode wired\wireless machine, to be like the Win drivers and switch between wired and wireless, on it's own, depending on what's available?

Ray


The 8139 is wired ethernet and has a native OS/2 driver, you don't need to use Genmac.

As for auto switching between wired and wireless, I do believe this has been requested. What happens at present is that if XWLAN (not genmac itself) sees that you are connected to the same network at the same time via wireless and wired, it pops up a message and asks you which you wish to operate on.

Is this sufficient for your needs ?

Cheers/2

Ed.
