| Will a wifi pcmcia/pccard work with OS/2? I have an IBM Thinkpad that has 72 meg of ram, 1.2 gig or hard drive, about 120 mhz of cpu speed and OS/2 Warp ver 4 with fixpak 15.

| One could check out the wifi section of http://www.netlabs.org ( http://wlan.netlabs.org/ ?). --- BigWarpGuy - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - OS/2 Warp-ed/eComStation-ed to the very end. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - |

Did you manage to kick some life into the system? |

| Not really. I managed to get the slots removed somehow. When I click on the pcmcia detect software, it gives a message of the slots not being there (sigh).

| Well, about Os/2 Card & socket services, you can read within the "Technical notes" file in disk 1 (Installation) of MCP2 or from the info icon on Warpcenter. Drivers for Wifi can be downloaded fron IBM support..........of course ciao. |

| I think they are also at the members download at http://www.ecomstation.com and at http://wlan.netlabs.org (at least wifi information on the latter).

| Thanks for the link and information. I think I will try once more to install eCS 1.1 onto my IBM Thinkpad 760EL.

| Is there a section of the eCS 1.1 disc that enables one to create installation diskettes to install eCS onto a pc that can not boot from the cderom drive? I tried what I thought was it but it failed. I want to be sure I was trying to use the correct software/program. What was it called/name of the program?

| I found the 'makedisc.cmd' file and created the installation diskettes for eCS 1.1. I will try to install eCS 1.1 onto my TP 760EL. I am hoping I can get the wifi or network card to work once it is installed (assuming/hoping that it is installed succesfully).

| I have a Thinkpad T23 with eCS 1.1 on it. Would a wifi card work with it? I am still not sure what brand the wifi card is.

| I can't speak for the onboard WiFi on any ThinkPads, but if using a card makes sense - this device is good: http://store.yahoo.com/saveateaglestore/09n9863.html?c=ns It's one of the IBM High Rate Wireless LAN PC Cards, w/64-bit WEP data Plus it's under $25.00 - so it could fit a variety of budgets... |

| I also have that card and it's now functionning perfect. Just to avoid any unnecessary unconvenience, have a look at my hardship with the same card under the "Networking" section and the heading "Configuring a wireless card" Good luck! |

| Another great card is the Cisco Aironet 350. Download the Aironet 340 drivers from Hobbes (they run the 340 & 350 series). Installation is easy... copy the files (explained in the included readme) into the appropriate folder for MPTS, start MPTS & change your current card (or "No network adapter") to the "Cisco Aironet...", hit "Edit" and type in the wireless group name (IE: Linksys, default, DLink or whatever the wireless router is set to) and restart. - Rob |

Might as well post this here as well. ![]() Here's the secret to getting GenMac and XWLan working with wireless PC cards: Go to the directory for test versions link and get cbenable_test.zip and pciconf_test.zip. After many frustrating hours, I came across mention of them on the GenMac gmane forums. They allowed my DWL-G650 card to be recognized on my Thinkpad T21. |
