This evening from the hotel (and for all of you who did not make it to Windsor this year to hear John C Dvorak speak at dinner tonight, you truly missed out on a real treat!!), I attempted to update my 1.24 BIOS / 1.04 Embedded Controller versions to 1.29 / 1.06, respectively. As I reported earlier, BIOS revs after 1.24 seem to have the effect of rendering GenMAC unable to detect the Intel 2915ABG.
The latest BIOS rev (and appropriate embedded controller rev) behave in similar fashion. However, the bug appears to be within GenMAC (and I shall report it properly). After booting, I ran Veit's pci.exe, which did indeed see the WLAN card, so I must conclude that there is something within GenMAC which is not looking in the right place (perhaps there is more than one way to query the PCI bus - I'll bring this up with the guys tomorrow; Warpstock is such a great place to pick brains).
So, I ended up back-revving to 1.24 / 1.04.
BTW, I was prompted to do this because of the annoying "bug" concerning the 2915ABG where it simply stops responding after a period of time. This occurs under XP as well as eCS 1.2, so I do not believe that the problem is necessarily software related.
Cheers.
