I've recently acquired a more uptodate motherboard which includes a LAN port on it.

How do I find out if there is any OS/2 support for it?


  
You need to first of all find out what the chipset is.

This should be stated in the manual. Alternatively, it will have come with a windows driver CD - the directory name for the NIC drivers may tell you what the NIC is or you can go into the INF file with a text editor and it should say in there.

If all of these do not return the data, you can use a utility like PCI.EXE to tell you the vendor and device IDs and if you download the latest reference file (cross platform I believe) it will tell you what the device is - or simply search on the web to find this info.

Once you know what the NIC chipset is, you can check the GenPak documentation or on os2warp.be to see if there any OS/2 native drivers (or at the chipset manufacturers site of course). If these don't list the device, you can check the doco with the latest version of the Genmac wrapper driver to see if it supports it.
