Any info on whether this is or is not supported?

Intel P7350/T3200
Intel 5100
Realtek 8111C
Realtek ALC888

The Intel 5100 is not (yet) on the GenMAC list of supported hardware.

There is not even a W2K driver; XP, Vista only.  The XP driver and connection app refuses to even try to load under W2K.

W2K is not going to be supported by much newer hardware. Changes in the XP kernel post-SP2 have made it necessary to backport changes to some drivers (and to some other software) in order to make them compatible with W2K SP3 & SP4. Don't expect vendors to put much emphasis on driver support for an OS which is considered EOL by the manufacturer (and look at the crowd to whom I'm speaking!) :-)

I'm not sure what your purpose is in running the driver under W2K, Ray. If you just need to extract the necessary files and registry entries, then you'll need an XP install to do it.
I ordered a WET 54G, not received yet.

Balance OT for this list, but certainly of interest to many:
The Realtek 8111C is not yet supported (and I have read some dreadful things about it; it seems that Realtek needs to get its firmware in order for that one, I guess).

GenMac works with Rtl 8168.
Are you saying that if you configure GenMAC for an RTL8168 that it effectively drives the 8111C?

The CPU should be supported, and the ALC888 should be working with UniAUD at this point (I've had mixed results; HDA is still so problematic for us).

AC97 works.

ALC888 is HDA, not AC97. Are you saying that somehow an AC97 driver works for the onboard ALC888 codec?
I did an RC6 install with Panorama.  I got 1024x768.  It is distorted
but usable.  Native is 1280x800.  SNAP compresses the display into the top two inches of the screen.

Check out my mention of the Panorama siteon the eCS list. Perhaps there is a more recent build which performs better. The widescreen activator may make the difference, here.
If the WET works the machine will be functional.
So I will now admit what I am working with.

Great news! The Centrino 2 is essentially a Core 2 Duo. Do you have both cores running under ACPI with /SMP /APIC?
