GenMAC & E1000 on a T42p.

This is getting to be ridiculous, my box is behaving
like a kamakazi elevator.

What was the ethernet (wired) card again (can't find

Well, after updated GenMAC and doing the SYN

thingy my

system still crashes with SOCKET.SYS.

This is threatening my whole OS/2 setup as I can't
afford to work like that.

Does anyone out there know what to do?

You need to log into ftp.netlabs.org as the user

There were indeed some issues with the 1.0

build

addressed in 1.07. You should be able to grab 1.7 by following the

info

in

Adrian's post on the GenMAC user list at

Well, I expressed myself wrongly here.
I am using the E1000 driver for the wired NIC.

Hmmm... So you're using GenMAC for your wired
ethernet as well as wireless? And you get these crashes both

wired

        

and
    

wireless? Try a non-GenMAC driver for the wired NIC, if that

is

        

the
    

case.

FWIW, here is  my info:

INETVER identical to yours.

Hi Lewis !

By now my OS/2 system has become pretty much

a

                

CRAP
            

system as far as the Internet is concerned.
I just can not afford to have this damn box
          

crash
    

                

with
            

dozens of apps running:
Version numbers of TCP/IP protocol drivers:
   SOCKETS.SYS: 6.3100
   AFOS2.SYS:   6.3100
   AFINET.SYS:  6.3100

Not sure how to get the NIC versions, but I

do

                

know
            

that the GenMac driver should be the latest
                

version
            

around.
I'm also using the latest WiFi driver

version.

Thanks for any help
