Hi again,

those 16 laptops we've received have both 10/100 ethernet as well as wireless LAN (802.11b). Unfortunately, their documentation does not make it clear what kind of chips are being used. None of the currently available drivers on the unattended CD work for either chip.

( The ethernet chip appears to be an SiS 900; untested driver available here: <http://www.pcwave.com/driver.html> )

All I could find out about the WLAN chip was that its apparent vendor "Broadcom". Neither does Broadcom offer drivers for their WLAN chips (only for ethernet NICs), nor do they list MAXDATA (the laptop vendor; or any other German company, for that matter) as one of their OEMs.

I've also tried to find similar WLAN chip DOS drivers. All I found was an MS-DOS exe program which, according to its readme, would contact an access point to test the connection. Do such drivers exist at all, or are we limited to ethernet?
