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 ). Greggory 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. -- Cheers/2 Ed eComStationAustralia podcast RSS feed http://eComStationAustralia.podbean.com/feed or iTunes
