I am about ready to punt.  It almost looks like a hardware problem, but I think you mentioned that it works with other OSs.  Might it be something in ACPI is disrupting communication?  I have PSD=ACPI.PSD /SMP /ACPI /SAP:0x20.

Chuck,
PMFJI, but...
It's understandable with the similarity, but did you intend the switch
to be '/APIC' instead of '/ACPI' in your settings?

[And, FWIW, as I've said before, '/APIC' caused me serious problems and
no problems w/o it.]

Carl

You are correct.  It is /APIC.  I am also running APM.ADD.

I just thought of something.  Make sure that helperw.exe is run before netbind.exe is called.

Chuck, Curtis says that his Wi-Fi is working with GenMAC, so I doubt it's his helperw.exe.

When you run a netstat -n, what do you see for your physical address on the wired NIC, Chuck?

I bet you get :\> netstat -n
Interface 0  Ethernet-Csmacd
physical address    000000000000      MTU 1500

What are you plugging into?  Linksys switch?

What do you have in your /ibmcom/lantran.log?  Do you get an actual MAC address bound to the adapter?  i.e. WRAPPER hardware init successfull MAC : XXXXXX:XXXXXX?
