Don't get a Xircom for OS/2. They never finished their OS/2 Card
and Socket Services driver (after releasing their initial OS/2 driver
2 years ago). What this means is that if you pull out the card while
OS/2 is running, it'll lock up; ditto if you insert it. If you come out
of hibernation, the card also does not get reinitialized, so you have
to reboot OS/2. Hopefully, their 100Mbps card will have better OS/2
support, but I doubt it...

p.s., IBM's ethernet card works for the above test cases if you use fixpack
17...
