Yes this is correct. Use MPTS to configure the interface and
protocols and it will configure the MPTSART.CMD.

I would recommend opening an OS/2 prompt and cd to \genmac\bin and run
scan manually, run it twice because it never shows the SSID's on the
first try. Then you can copy the SSID to the clipboard so that you
can paste it into the SSID field in MPTS in the configuration for the
adapter.

Is this the correct hardware?

If scan does find the Access Point you can put the SSID into MPTS or
you can run the command "ssid -ssid <SSID>" and then wait a couple
minutes to get an IP address. If scan doesn't find anything something
else is wrong. Watch your Wifi light when you run scan and see if
comes on for a second when it executes.
