First of all, it's a beta, unfortunately. The X server is on the verge of
unusable. I think it may be possible to apply the CSD's on ftp-os2 to this,
but I wouldn't recommend it. I'm gonna test this hypothesis some time this
week...
The base of TCP/IP seems pretty stable, so far.
The cards which are supported are:
3Com 3C503 EtherLink II Adapter
3Com 3C523 EtherLink/MC Adapter
IBM Bus Mater Ethernet Adapter
IBM Token Ring Network 16/4 Adapter
IBM PS/2 FDDI Adapter Device Driver
IBM PC Network II and Baseband Adapters
IBM PC Network II/A and Baseband/A Adapters
IBM Token-Ring Network Adapters
IBM Token-Ring Network Busmaster Server Adapters
3270 Adapter for 3174 Peer Communication
IBM PS/2 Adapter for Ethernet Networks
Standard Microsystems EtherCard PLUS Software
Standard Microsystems EtherCard PLUS Micro Channel
Ungermann-Bass NIUpc adapters
Ungermann-Bass NIUps adapters
It's also possible to get pretty much any card with OS/2 NDIS drivers working,
with a little work.
