3. Listing of Tested USB Ethernet Adapters 

IBM only tested three devices that work with this driver.  Officially this is stated 

by Big Blue: 

 

 

 

 

 

These devices work, of course, but there are many more USB network adapters 

that work great with this device driver!  In the following table, you’ll find a list of 

USB Ethernet devices that have been tested thoroughly for the OS/2 Warp 

Compatible Hardware List Project.  You can get support for the three devices tested 

by IBM directly with IBM Costumer Support, but they will refuse to help you for other 

devices.  Should you have any hardware troubles with those network cards, browse 

to the OS/2 Compatible Hardware List webpage and there you will find support.   

 

In the following table, you will find the compatible devices and their 

respective Vendor and Product IDs:

The USB Ethernet Adapter Driver provides OS/2 support for 
selected chip sets that meet the USB 1.0 or USB 1.1 specification. 
OS/2 USB Ethernet support is limited to adapters based on 
Kawasaki LSI KL5KUSB101 chipset. Support software was tested 
on 3COM USB Network Interface (3C19250), D-Link Corp. USB 
Ethernet Adapter (DSB-650) and ADS Technologies Inc. USB 

Ethernet Adapter (USB-10BT).
