I've gotten WSEB installed on my thinkpad 390, but still struggling with trying to get a PCMCIA NIC installed and working. I gave up on a NE4000 card and am now working with an IBM etherjet. I installed the driver through MPTS and on the reboot, the driver loads but card does not come on. I went back into MPTS and specified port300 and IRQ 7 in the settings for the NIC. The driver would load again, but this time itwould beep and card would still not come on. Next, I had installed LANAID in OS2 according to the etherjet's card readme file and ran it, but all it basically does is tell me to run MPTS to configure the card which I have already done. After a fresh reboot, I ran selective install and set up PCMCIA support for this laptop. With the etherjet card in the top slot, I shut down and restarted. The NIC driver in config.sys loaded and I got a LINK light on the card, so that tells me it now has power. Unfortunately, the system locked right there and I had to cycle the power to get it rebooted. Now, the system boots to the OS2 splash screen and hard locks right there, even with the etherjet card removed.
Seems like a resource conflict. What to do next? From previous failed installs, it seems that installing PCMCIA support causes major problems even before trying to configure any PCMCIA physical device.
