Hey Rick, How could I know what your profession was - by the way I have
now worked 30 years in the IT industry, so I'm also not a "newbie". As
for your comment on the value of hardware you use, as they always say,
it's not what price something is that gives it value, it's what you can
do with it.

Re: Genmac, you need to install the driver in MPTS - the genmac driver
will then appear in the list multiple times, one entry for each of the
cards that are supported. If your card is not in the list, it hasn't
been added to the driver yet and you should place a request via the
genmac list - genmac-user@netlabs.org - join the list first via the
Netlabs site.

Since you inferred that you have had GenMac working on a T42, I would
have thought you would have known this.

Chances are, as I said, that the Intel WLAN card in your new model
Thinkpad hasn't found its way into the driver yet. The driver is free
and updated on a best efforts basis by the Author, so it's normal that
there will be a lag for new hardware.
