Incorrect: it may indeed be the firmware on the card and not eh T30 firmware. I haven't checked the firmware rev on the card, but I will indeed (see http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Cisco_Aironet_Wireless_802.11b, which describes a similar issue we've seen with the 350 PCMCIA cards not functioning with later Cisco firmware). I'll follow up in another thread when I get a chance to flash the card to a known-good firmware rev. > GenMAC loaded up the first time without coughing, but subsequent boot > cycles brought me up to a TRAP 8 (interrupt left hot?), and the first > time around I was not able to get the card to be seen.

I also got it with UNIAUD completely remmed out of CONFIG.SYS (ergo, no audio whatsoever). the only protocol loaded for the card was TCP/IP, and I even went so far as to unload all other protocols (IPX included) for the wired NIC - same result. -- Lewis ------------------------------------------------------------ Lewis G Rosenthal, CNA, CLP, CLE Rosenthal & Rosenthal, LLC Accountants / Network Consultants New York / Northern Virginia www.2rosenthals.com eComStation Consultants www.ecomstation.com Novell Users International www.novell.com/linux/truth Need a managed Wi-Fi hotspot? www.hautspot.com ------------------------------------------------------------
