Hi everyone, I currently bought a xircom card at ebay, to be more precise i bought a RealPort CardBus Ethernet 10/100+Modem 56 RBEM56G-100. i now trying to configure this card with os2. after some trys i only manage to put this card to work with this configuration: BASEDEV=PCMCIA.SYS /R:500 however i have a problem with this configuration i can't remove the card and insert it back in. in this case the card will not work afterwards. also if i hibernate my laptop, after the restart the computer the card will not work. so what i would like to know if any one manage to put this kind of cards working with ibm socket services in a diferent way. best regards Luis Meira |

Luis, when it comes to network adapters and OS/2 I generally would check for any 3COM devices, as they seem to work quite well. You might check with Dr.Martinus' Notebook/2 site... there's a wealth of information on such matters: http://www.os2world.com/DrMartinus/notebook.htm Cheers, |

The Xircom driver is very badly coded, and it also looks like a port from windoze (win16 stub on the header?). It does not support Card Services, Power Management (suspend etc), Xircom is the worst pcmcia card you can get for os/2. I've got the A few years ago someone at Warpstock Europe told me that Apparently that never happened since ibm has been killing all |

3Com cards are very good and the drivers seem to work well, but their existence in general is sorely lacking. Any newer 3Com card (including all 10/100 models, IIRC) will not have OS/2 drivers, and 3Com has taken the very aggravating step of removing the drivers for their older cards from their web site archives, so your only option is to find them on, for instance, Dr. Martinus' site. When you can find the drivers and don't mind the card just being 10Mb, however, they are a good choice. I have a 3Com card I use in my laptop and it supports card/socket services including full suspend/resume and hibernate without needing to do anything special.

I use this adapter on my compaq LTE I use reserve.sys for the req. /340,8 /IRQ:10 and IBMss04.sys because "14" won´t load. I had to use PCCard to have it recognized. No hibernation ! Frank |
