Dave, which GenMAC driver package are you using? I can't 
find a 3C90X anywhere, nor a wrapper directory for this 
PCI ID. I do have a spare 3CN3AC1556B, however, and a 
couple Xircom combo cards. I may have another Intel in a 
hulk around here (currently, I'm sending this from a new 
RC3 build on my youngest daughter's "new" T21 which I 
cobbled together yesterday - this one does have a working 
Intel combo, though I'm not sure of the modem support).

I haven't found anything enlightening in the T21 BIOS, 
sorry.

I looked at what I thought may have been the project page 
for this (originally - or normally - part of the Net-tools 
pack, IIRC), but the page is a disorganized mess. Getting 
the source to even have a look may prove to be a project 
unto itself, I'm afraid.

Yes, this is a good idea when the MAC isn't properly 
reported. In my experience, this is a driver issue. What 
Win driver version are you using in the wrapper directory? 
Have you perhaps tried updating it to a newer one or 
back-reving?

I'd love to! You seem to be farther along than I at this 
point, however. ;-) If I do turn up a spare Intel, I'll 
let you know and drop it in the mail.

Cheers.
