With the router set to public I seem to have a functioning WLAN; 
connection to WEB and other machines.  The wired nic is not currently 
loaded.

I have a D-Link Dl-514 that I never did get to work wired with OS/2. 
I never tried it wireless with OS/2.  It all worked fine under WXP.

There seems to be a place for all that info in WLAN monitor.  The only 
indication of a problem I have is that it truncates the key.  I am 
wondering if it has something to do with decimal vs hex.
