Subject: [OS2Wireless] Intermittent 'no card detected' went away with move of GENPRISM.OS2 in

Though I only have a 2003 ( v2.0 b3 ) version of GENPRISM this might apply to others.
Many times I'd get the dreaded "No Card Detected" message when I'd start my Thinkpad
and I'd have to eject/insert the card over and over before it would get detected and sometimes
a reboot helped too. But, for the heck of it, I added the /G param to the $ICPMOS2 driver
at the end of the file( config.sys ). It was then that I noticed the GENPRISM.OS2 driver was
kinda low in the file and I moved it up to where my wired NIC driver was.

Now, I've rebooted a couple of times and ejected/inserted the WiFi card and it's worked
every time. I don't know if anybody else was/had this problem but it was driving me nuts.

BTW, my WiFi card is a DLink CF card( DCF-650W ) previously used with my Zaurus handheld.
I use it in the Thinkpad with a PCMCIA adapter.
