Why cannot xwlan be modified to provide contemporary functionality? Depends on what you define contemporary functionality. If you mean mimic the behavior what other OSes do today then one answer would be, cause no one needs it. No current wifi driver -> no need for xwlan. But even if we had newer wifi drivers I fear no one will catch up all the changes in wireless technology and UI expectations that were happening the last 15 years. I fear not even the interface to the driver (usually genmac) which was defined more that 20 years ago will be sufficient to current needs/hardware. So the answers are many - no need, no driver, no motivation, no resources for a complete new solution instead xwlan, only a few developers who can compile the current xwlan and even less who like do it, ... > .. Why cannot a simple 32 bit native OS/2 browser with basic functionality be developed? Ask yourself, why can't you do it by yourself? I think the same arguments are valid for the waste majority of the other OS/2 users too. Regards, Andi
