There might (perhaps) be one more -- albeit more convoluted -- workaround. Approx. 18 months ago, Jerry Rash did a demo of VirtualBox/2 for SCOUG. ISTR that he mentioned the Win device support for NICs _could_ work in this environment, even though the NIC did not itself have native OS/2 support ? If so, might that not extend to the kind of USB NICs I've been using ?

Systems running in a Virtual machine - Virtual Box, VirtualPC, VMWare, Parrallels, etc. "see" a standard NIC - this is an old Realtek, Intel 21104, or Intel E100, all of which have native OS/2 drivers. So the virtualisation program interfaces this standard old NIC to whatever is running on the Host PC. If the Host PC is a Windows PC, you'll have the NIC drivers if the Host PC is OS/2 or eCS - you have the same problem that you need either a native OS/2 driver for the NIC or GenMAC support.
