Thinkpads Forum

I have had very few problems with using eComStation with my Thinkpad (T23 with 1.1 and A22m with 1.2). Is this true of others who run eComStation on their Thinkpad?

very very few. onli problem I had was wireless network. But not any more. Genmac solved the problem. TP R-51 here.
regards

Not having problems with eCS could explain why the OS/2 section of this forum is not very active.

I'm not having any problems...

Then again, I'm running the Live CD on Virtual PC, not running directly on the hardware.

There just seems to be something "right" about running an IBM OS on IBM hardware, though. (Even when it's a product of Lenovo... )

It depends on model.
I haven´t ANY problem with my T30. But with the rest of my TP ...

My basic problem is wifi. T30 has built-in wifi, IBM made excellent driver and that´s why all works. But if I have to use a built-in wifi card in other TP or wifi in PCMCIA, I am not able to do it. I tried many PC cards, even bought special card with os/2 driver - Artem ... nothing.

In addition I do not understand PC cards, I´m simple user. Result is evident - if I need wifi I have to use either T30 or other operating system.

During install you can select PCMCIA and even the Thinkpad model...maybe that's why it doesn't work with you?

I was at a Warpstock convention - http://www.warpstock.org - which used an thernet connected USB powered wifi devices. It worked with eCS. You might want to try it.
