| Hi ! Does someone know if eCS would run on my Dell Inspirion 5150 Advanced ? If it would run, would eCS reconize two CPUs because of the Pentium 4 HT Technology ? And would the Firewire hardware be supported as well as the wireless lan mini-PCI card ? Toby PS: |

| The 5150 is rather similar to the 8600 that I got and there are couple of postings regarding this system in the forum. But regarding HT OS2 will not gain anything and then again I guess that you have the eCS version that only supports one CPU so would not gain anything anyway. nVidia chip is supported via snap, but since it's the mobile nvidia chip you won't have accellerated support. Guess that the 510 uses the TI4510 chip for the cardbus so that would be supported by the APSoft socket service. USB is no problem on my side at all. As far as I know there is no support for firewire under os2, yet. The integrated Intel miniPCI 2100 (I asume this since this is the standard from Dell) is currently not supported under OS2. But, try to run the pci.exe tool get the full spec of the system. I have attached it to this message. /Kim |

| HI ! I have just tried to install eCS 1.1 on my Laptop and it worked ,so the Dell Inspirion 5150 Advanced could also be added to the Support List !! Anyway, I have still got the problem to get the cardbus, the sound card and the lan card working : 1. 2. 3. Toby PS: I don`t really need the WLAN Support right now, but in case does someone has a driver for the Dell Wireless 1350 802.11 b/g Mini-PCI WLAN Card ?! |

| 1. Well I asume that the system uses the same chip as the Inspiron 8600, ie TI4510 and Daniela's Enhanced Drivers for SS won't do the trick. Actually on my system it halts the system and I can only reset the system. I'm currently trying out with TouchStone Software Corporation drivers that supports the TI4510. 2. 3. /Kim |

| Hi ! I didn`t had much time the last months to reply this topic, because I had to learn a lot for my exams in school. Anyway I passed all and now I´ve got again time for eComStation. I tried the UniAudio Projekt Driver and it worked. So I´ve got one Problem less. But there are still at least 3 Problems left: 1. Cardbus You wrote the last time that you would use the Are there maybe now drivers around which would support our Broadcom LAN Cards and my Wireless Lan Card from Dell (Dell Wireless 1350 802.11 b/g Mini-PCI WLAN Card ) ?

| 1. Cardbus Regarding TouchStone drivers for the cardbus; they aren't free for download. Danielas drivers for cardbus works that far that the cardbus is found, but the drivers hangs the system directly after the bus has been found. So as far as I managed to test me to is that the TouchStone drivers is currently the one needed to kick some life into the system. 2. Network Nothing more has happened here and I havenät really heard anything more. Just some few lines that we are not the only one that would like to see a drivers. 3. Wireless Network Well, above totally depends on that you'll get the cardbus running and as well on that you have the proper wireless card. |

| Hi ! It has again past some time and I have not used eCS now for a quiet long time, but I am still interested in getting it to work totally ! But let me guess nothing new for the 5150, or is there ? Anyway if there is or not, would there be any advance in ordering eCS 1.2 ? I mean any new included driver which could solve our above discussed problems ? And is there maybe as well better support for the energy management, because I just discoverd that eCS 1.1 doesn´t seem to support the energy management of my Dell Inspirion 5150 Advanced (It doesn´t display the power symbol in the taskbar and I can´t use the the power management tab in the system menu) Toby |

| No nothing new has happend and eCS v1.2 won't give you anything new. The only driver that might have been updated is for the cardbus. Regarding wireless nothing new either and the BroadCom nic isn't supported yet. Try to send BroadCom an e-mail or two to give them some hint on that there is need for OS2 drivers. |

| The more people sending an e-mail asking for OS/2-eCS support, the greater the chance they will support it (it will show a potential market for them to work toward).

Good news is that the BroadCom 4401 chipset now has a fully working driver, I've just installed it on my Dell 8600 and works so far perfect. I've attached the driver to this message as well. |

| Hi ! Thank you very much for posting the driver for the LAN Adapter! But I've still got some networking problems: 1. I havn't got any problems accessing Windows XP from eCS 1.1. But when I try to access eCS from Windows XP, a window pops up asking me for the username and password for the eCS machine.When I enter the username and password which I specified for my share under eCS, I still can't get access to the share! Which options will I also have to change to get access? Does it matter how usernames in eCS have to be written? Maybe together and upskirt (e.g. Peter Mueller -> PETERMUELLER)? Is it possible that the eCS firewall blocks my attemps to access the system? 2. When I access a share which has one folder inside with more than 9 characters. Thanks Toby UPDATE (2h later) I solved the first issue, by using the shares without having to enter a password to access it.(No Password for the Users) I still don't know as well why I can only get access to the content of one share. |

A while ago I had shared betwen win and os2, but if I don't recall it wrong you need to have the exactly the same userid and password on both system where you want to access the shared resources.
Hmm can't help you here, need to give a try on my side; I've accessed resources from os2 servers with both windows and os2 system but never used peer... so need to try. But would guess that it's the FAT32 issue as you also mentioned in your update. |

Hi! Therefore I would´nt even need to get the cardbus running, if there would be driver for my WLAN Adapter it would work. But it doesn´t matter any longer, because I got the cardbus running by updating the driver for it! Anyway, might there be drivers out yet for the WLAN Adapter? Toby |

| Okey, when it comes to wifi miniPCI cards then there is only one card that I know so far that have drivers and that is the IBM mPCI Wireless card. You're able to get the card from eBay for around $35. Worth buying if you don't want to wait around for drivers to be released..... |

Hi !
Thanks, but I already updated it at the beginning of the years.
Yes, you´re right: I have now decided to buy an PCMCIA Network card, the NetGear MA-401 seems to be the right one for me. The device driver is also part of the Generic PRISM driver, which can be found here: Is this a good choise? Another piece of hardware, would be the modem, which is an Broadcom v.92 56kb Modem as Windows hardware state. Is there any support as far as you know? Toby PS: The BroadCom 4401 chipset driver has been updated: |

| Hi ! I have just seen that there are OS/2 speedstep drivers around for intel mobile chips.would this driver work on the Inspirion 5150? I know that this is an apm driver and my laptop is acpi. Toby |

an acpi driver is coming in eCS v2. Currently it doesn't fully power notebook power functionality but it is being worked on. For your wireless card - genmac might work - ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/genmac If you card isn't listed - follow the instructions to send details of your wireless card so it can be added in a future release.

Hi!
Thanks, just thought It might work.
The genmac was and is still not working, but as I stated above the generic prism is:

Genprism only works with pcmcia devices - I thought your Dell had an onboard mini-PCI wireless card? Cheers, Paul. |

| Hello Toby! Maybe you have solved your problems by now, regarding your network but anyway: I can access every machine from each of them, including my eCS. I have no 9-character problem. I'm really not shure but I suspect that the networking parts have been updated in the eCS1.2media refresh(maybe you could ask Serenity bout that). Though I didn't have my network when I used eCS 1.1,so I haven't thouroughly tested it out, but I tried it in the university network, where I'm studying, and never suceeded.

Hi!
Yes, it has in deed. But I have now buyed a pcmcia wlan card for my laptop: the NetGear MA-401. This is supported by the genprism driver. The mini-PCI wireless card is not supported by any driver yet, also not by the genmac driver.
Yes I solved it, it was a problem with HPFS386:
but I've now got this problem: It discribes an error in AFINETK.SYS (Exception)
Do you maybe know a solution for the exception problem? Toby |
