Hi,
I just got my wireless LAN running on my T30 and everything works. However, it would be nice to have a scanner like in Win$XP which tells me what is in the air. I'm using the WLAN programme from netlabs, but I don't think it shows me all the available connections in the air.

Thanks for any info.

I have seen handheld devices that detect what is in the area; where wifi is or isn't. Have you checked out one of these devices? It would be neat if OS/2-eCS could detect if there is any wifi in the area but I do not know of any program that can do it for OS/2-eCS. Perhaps it could be suggested to the ones working on wifi for OS/2-eCS?

That is very good news; especially with the popularity of wifi.
