Hi Harry,

I now have two motherboards with built in LAN that do not work under OS/2.

One has the Realtek 8167 (10EC:8167), and the other is Marvell
(10DE:03EF).

Both work fine under Windows. In each case I can get OS/2 to access the
internet by adding a PCI Lan card, but then I have one less PCI slot
available. There is no problem getting the PCI cards to work as long as
MPTS will work.

Thanks,
Sandy
