Hello
Quick comment:
It might be worthwhile to make your router public temporarily to
determine if the only obstacle is providing the needed infor for private
login. Usually, in a WEP system, that is only network name and WEP key.
I'm still using WSeB, which doesn't support my DLink DLW-G520, so I don't
know about eCS or even exactly how an OS/2 system must handle wireless but
I assume that it is possible to employ some sort of network config script
that would load those values upon boot should you so desire. All it really
would require is ifconfig and iwconfig, I think.
