Anyone have any wireless drivers for OS/2 for the T42p model?
The ones for the A31p don't seem to be working and I can't switch the cards...
See Daniela Engert's article in this month's VOICE Newsletter
http://www.os2voice.org/VNL/past_issues ... newsf4.htm
There is a closed beta of the GenMac driver that supports running win32 wireless drivers under OS/2-eCS that works with the Intel 2100b (which my T42p has) as well as the Intel 2200 which other T42's have, but currently it is not working on Thinkpads. Daniela's solution (an ASUS WL330g Pocket Access Point) looks like an interesting alternative especially if you need WPA, Right now I'm using a Cisco 352 PCMCIA wireless card with the last beta Cisco 340/350 OS/2 driver. That is sufficient for my current needs.

But that MacGen driver interests me far more.
closed beta of the GenMac driver
Meaning what? Its not available to the general public (yet)?
If so, how could I get it?
Yes its a very closed beta. I don't have it either, I've just been told about it by several people who are involved.
but currently it is not working on Thinkpads
How sure are you?
The people who have told me are people I trust implicitly.
I need to decide wether to move onto the T42p (and off my A31p) soon.
Do they need money on the GenMac department to make the driver work or is it just an issue of more time?
You can try asking Adrian Gschwend, the maintainer of Netlabs.org. If you need his email address, email me privately (madodel[AT]ptd.net). What I have been told is that the problem is being worked on, but its one guy doing it in his spare time.
