Hi, Greggory. Some thoughts, below: On 11/27/09 07:09 pm, Greggory D Shaw thus wrote : 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. Type 802.11a is 54Mbps, not 11. However, the more appropriate question is whether XWLAN supports your card. What driver are you using? 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 ). If you are using the GenMAC driver, then the latest XWLAN should support it. If not, there is a good chance that you may have to use an older version of XWLAN, and even then, it may or may not work for that card. However, this can be scripted so that it can be done with a couple of clicks. XWLAN is just so much nicer. If you can run pci -s and post the PCI ID string of the wireless card, as well as which driver you are using for it, that would be extremely helpful.
