  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...
