Further to the whole Prism 2.5 PLX9052 chipset issue is the following excerpt from os2warp.be:
This driver has been finished, and also internal IBM beta testing is
completed. The driver has become available via SWC download. IBM
miniPCI cards are used in many newer ThinkPads, like the IBM T30,
and some other T2x models. The self-extracting driver ibmprism.exe
<http://service.software.ibm.com/os2dd/swc/wireless/ibmprism.exe>
has served as a basis for the NetGear, LinkSys, PLX9052, and Generic
PRISMx driver. Some PCI-devices of other brands can also work with
this driver. E.g. CompuShack SWN-103 PCI Wireless LAN Adapter, a PCI
card with an external antenna, and equipped with a PRISM2.5 chipset.
Just as the IBM High Rate PC Card 128, this driver is available via
SoftWare Choice and PassPort Advantage subscriptions, and can be
downloaded from IBM Device Driver Pak Online. Also available via
eComStation download site. Please note that IBM ONLY supports this
device with this particular driver! Other devices (in particular
miniPCI solutions) WILL NOT WORK.
This driver should be available from ecomstation.com, for those with support agreements.
