Dallas might be able to help with the MIB file. SNMP was his
presentation last spring (to both SCOUG and SDOUG).

Dave, however, has a good point -- the device driver. I'm going to make
a wild guess here that the network side of the card uses one of the
typical NIC chips and the wireless portion is a different
"transmitter/receiver" chip. If so, the OS/2 driver for the board's
"NIC chip" should work and you'll be okay.

Eyeball the card and see what the chips are. Or, get on one of the
Linux newsgroups and ask what driver seems to work with it. Or contact
customer support and ask them. (I've had good luck with some companies
by calling and asking for the Head Design Engineer.)

Holler back with how far you get.
