You should be able to use any newer drivers on Warp Connect, so while the 
selction may be limited on install, just about any NIC supported by OS/2 
would work.  Only exception is the GenMac driver which I think requires a 
32bit TCP/IP stack which wasn't available until Warp 4.  (GenMac is a 
generic wrapper allowing windoze network drivers to be used under OS/2 and 
eComStation).   There use to be a lot on IBM's device driver depository 
site, but they closed that down when they stopped all public support for 
OS/2.  A good source for OS/2 network (and for that matter any other) 
drivers freely available is
