My understanding is that this driver was written by IBM, not Cisco. I got it from Oliver Stein at Warpstock. If you want the driver just sendme an email and I can send it to you, or go to [link|http://whois.ibm.com|http://whois.ibm.com] and look up the email address for Oliver Stein(there is only one AFAIK) and ask him for it. I knew about the Artem OS/2 driver, but wasn't aware you could directly order their hardware outside of Europe. I've sent them several emails, and they never told me that. I was told they were looking for a US distributor.
I've been trying to get someone to write a review article of the Artem wireless for the VOICE Newsletter for almost 9 months now. Be aware that the Artem PCI card doesn't work with OS/2, just the PCMCIA and ISA. To use it in a PCI slot you would need to find a PCI PCMCIA adapter that works with OS/2's drivers. If anyone has one of these working under OS/2 and it is still available for purchase somewhere, I'd like to hear about it.
I found the Cisco 340 PCMCIA card on eBay for $105+$15 Shipping. But it has "No warranty Included" stamped all over the manuals that came with it. Only drivers for NT/95/ME/2000 on the included CDs. I think new Cisco cards cost as much or more then the Artem, so if I were buying new I'd go with Artem, since they actually support OS/2. I have no idea if the Cisco PCI or ISA cards will work with OS/2. Like the Artem, I think these are just adapter cards for the PCMCIA cards.
There is a utility on the Cisco CD that probably tells you statistics about your wireless connection, but it's a stupid 16bit windoze installer, so I can't get it to install under Odin. I don't know if the Artem includes a similar utility that works under OS/2.
