Hello:

I had significant problems with the miniPCI adapter
installation and eventually had to remove the card
in order to be able to connect to the Internet.

On the T30 use the soundmax audio drivers from the IBM website rather than UniAud.

On my wife's machine, I'm using UNIAUD with the 2915ABG (same PCI ID as the card I sold to Mark).
I don't think the STACK32 is the problem.

Perhaps not with newer versions of UNIAUD; I haven't tried.
I know there is a new version of Genmac being developed, perhaps that will support the 2915ABG better ?

Once we got support for the 4224, it's been pretty stable (the newer Intel NDIS5 driver has helped quite a bit, too).
Also try installing WiFi on its own without the Intel Pro/100 driver (which should be the native driver - not Genmac wrapper)

Yes!! This is a very good point, Ed, and I hadn't even thoguth to mention it in my new thread to Mark. I have been unable to get GenMAC to run both the Intel Pro/100 *and* the 2915 in the same configuration (on the T43, I use the native Broadcom driver, so I had forgottom about the T30 with the - better, IMO - Intel NIC). This is an important step.
Only load the TCPIP protocol to the card.

Right. Another point I neglected to stress in my earlier post. GenMAC seems to have trouble with multiple binds to the same device. My symptom is a hang running NETBIND.EXE at boot when attempting to bind IP and IPX to the wireless NIC.

This is a great list. Thanks (everyone) for contributing.
