There are at least three of us with T4x's and Intel 2200bg cards that experienced the problem.  Disabling the Speedstep in the BIOS was the only thing that allowed the 2200 to be seen by xwlan.  Others had it working but only on AC, and not on battery.  It makes no sense since it worked for me for several months without changing anything and always worked fine with an Intel 2100b card, but this is what we discovered to fix the problem.

just a comment. is it possible that the problem is a result of the ACPI updates? Especially if it worked for a while....
(I have no way to test this hypothesis as I have a pcmcia card and no access to the Mensys Beta - though I think I should, but haven't been enabled by mensys)



Thanks for the input Stan - I wondered the same and tried having ACPI on and OFF on my T30 when I installed there under eCS 2.0B2M2 - it didn't make any difference - the key point was the BIOS settings, in my case.

Just an additional comment - the T42 ran eCS 1.2R and the T30 eCS 2.0B2M2 so I think they were using different versions of ACPI.

Hmm, I have tried each successive ACPI update and Genmac doesn't work for me with ACPI enabled at all so far.

On reflection, I believe I had issues with ACPI on eCS 1.2R on the T42 and it only became usable (on my systems) when I installed eCS 2.0 beta 2 Milestone 2 ot the T30.

So I guess we can (hopefully) await good things in this area once eCS 2.0 is officially released.

Cheers/2
