In my dhcpcd.cfg, I had the following logging options enabled: I was having dhcp problems with the wired lan on the T60. Finally did your tinkering with dhcpcd.cfg and got it to mostly work. Glad I could help! ;-) Previously, it wasn't working after bootup (with dynamic IP specified). I could get it to work using my fixedip.cmd. After the tinkering with the cfg file, it still doesn't work after bootup (see below) but if I run my wired.cmd file, it works perfectly. I'm thinking that the issue may be a timing thing between the IP stack (delayed, perhaps, due to the logging configuration) and the GenMAC driver. This might explain why I didn't see the problem with the native Broadcom driver. <snip> "F:\GENMAC\DRIVER\WRAPPER_8086_4227\NETW3X32.SYS" not found!

On a hunch, I copied that directory under the DRIVERS directory and rebooted. Yep, that's where it belongs... SUCCESS! XWLAN now lights up and I'm connected. Moral of the story - check the GENMAC\DRIVERS\wrnd32.log file!
