Greetings, friends, and apologies for my scarcity around here in recent weeks. It seems that one really never can predict one's own schedule, and I have been going nonstop for days. I finally decided to cancel some appointments the other day due to some tightness in my chest (life really is too short, after all). I'm feeling much better now.
Anyway, to my subject:
As several of you may know, I'm in the process of moving into my new ThinkPad T43 model 2687-DDU. This model has an integrated Broadcom 10/100/1000 NIC (BTW, Broadcom has updated the driver to resolve a conflict with HPFS386 - more on this in a moment - if you have a Broadcom NIC which uses the B57 driver, you might want to download the new build - 8.28, dated 12/2005 - from http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/downloaddrivers.php?cookiecheck=1) and an Intel 2915 a/b/g Wi-Fi card. GenMAC does not presently support this chipset (though I have uploaded the necessary files to my ftp server and posted a note on the GenMAC support list to that effect, so hopefully, it will be added in the near future).
I was experiencing some random traps (see below) with HPFS386 in use alongside even the latest Broadcom driver. In addition, I was seeing the situation exacerbated when the Cisco 350 driver was also loaded. I have switched over (temporarily, I hope) to 16-bit HPFS, and the system seems to be more stable.
XWLAN (latest version: 2.12) will install, but shows the Cisco interface as disabled (I have also tried the previous build, which is working fine with my ThinkPad T30, with the same result). In additon, when the widget is installed, it will not survive a reboot. By this, I mean that upon restarting and loading eCenter, I get a number of exception beeps, followed by a message that the dll could not be loaded and asking me if I want to disable the XWLAN widget. No matter how I respond to this prompt, the system is deadlocked, and even the CAD handler won't help beyond a reboot.
Interesting stuff from POPUPLOG.OS2:

for this are that an invalid pointer was used, there was
confusion with administering memory or error conditions
were not properly checked for.

I really need to turn on debugging in XWLAN, but I'd surely like to get the system stable. I can indeed manually connect wirelessly, so the Cisco driver appears to be working.
One last thing: I posted a note on the notebook/2 mailing list concerning the extraordinarily long time it takes for NETBIND to run on this machine. It is excruciating (over a minute, at my last timing).
Any thoughts on the above?
