Here is what I get boot up wired lan0.
run NICOFF.CMD brings down lan0 brings up lan1
cant connect to router. ifconfig lan1 shows inet 0.0.0.0
can't ping router. NICON.CMD brings up lan0 and I am connected.
Xwlan will not connect.
If I boot up and bring down lan0 with Xwlan I cant reconnect with lan0
but can turn off and on lan1
Somehow I don't think this is related to genmac or xwlan? Could it be
with my setup? I do have both cards with NETBEUI TCPBEUI.
