You should be able to use any newer drivers on Warp Connect, so while the

would work. Only exception is the GenMac driver which I think requires a
32bit TCP/IP stack which wasn't available until Warp 4. (GenMac is a
generic wrapper allowing windoze network drivers to be used under OS/2 and
eComStation). There use to be a lot on IBM's device driver depository
site, but they closed that down when they stopped all public support for
OS/2. A good source for OS/2 network (and for that matter any other)
drivers freely available is

There are usually a copy or 2 on eBay relatively
cheap. But OS/2 Warp
had only dialup TCP support. For full TCP/IP stack you need Warp
Connect or Warp 4.
I know Warp Connect only supports a *very* limited number of NIC's.
Finding one that is supported was my biggest challenge, and I was
pulling from a large pool of NIC's.
