In have a Dell Latitude D810, with a Card,Wireless,Mini Pci Card
1370,Broadcom Corporation. I have eCom 2.0 RC6a installed and I finally
got the wireless card working, with a few problems.
1) I have to use the command line utilities from GenMac. to connect the
wireless router.
a) ssid -wep 0x123456xxxxxxx
b) ssid -ssid ssidname
c) then use Wireless LAN Monitor to connect, select Public hotspot
=> scan for hotspots=>select my wireless network.
2) The wireless network is an old type A, 11Mb. - WEP 128bit. Does the Wireless LAN Monitor work with this setup.
3) What I want is to be able to connect at Starbuck or any public hot
spot using DHCP. My onborad LAN is LAN0 and the wireless is LAN1.
4) I have no experience with setting up wireless on OS/2 and any help
would be welcome!
5) I don't care about the Wireless A setup, only using DHCP with
Starbucks at public hotspot.(no encryption ).

I think most hotspots will fall back to 802.11B from 802.11G or N but not to 802.11A. You may be lucky and find one or two that support the old (different frequency) 802.11A 54Mb/s standard.
Are you sure you don't have 802.11B (which was an 11Mb/s standard) ?
XWLAN "should" handle this kind of connection - I have not needed to use the command line utilities for a long time.
