I just took the
card out to check and it is a 3CN3AC1556B and as I said, PCI scan gives
3C556 as device ID.

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'd have to look at a T2x to even jog my memory as to what settings are available in the BIOS. I'll do that, though.

I haven't found anything enlightening in the T21 BIOS, sorry.
 
Got a little bit further. Booted Knoppix and ran a thing called
mii-tool - Shame it is not available for ECS.


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.

Found you can set the MAC address in PROTOCOL.INI so set that to what
it ought to be and tried again. No better but at least other boxes'
"arp -a" report the correct MAC address. Seems to me that possibly the
driver is not getting the right info out of the card and is screwing up
somehow.
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?

Can anyone give me pointers to get this working under Genmac please?

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.
