Sorry to hear of your troubles, Mark. There are two (known) PCI ID's for 
the 2915: 4223 and 4224. In your GenMAC driver directory,  make sure you 
have the subdirectory:

11-15-06 10:27p         <DIR>      0 ----  WRAPPER_8086_4223

And in there, something similar to the following:

 3-05-06 10:31a         2,950      0 ----  W29N51.INF
 7-19-05  8:14p     3,289,088    208 ----  W29N51.SYS

I am using the following drivers for the 4224:

 2-08-07  1:30p       119,850      0 a---  w29n51.inf
 5-13-07  8:05p     2,209,408      0 a---  w29n51.sys

Which build of GenMAC are you using?

 From PROTOCOL.INI (should be similar for the 4223 ID - note the change 
necessary to the section and DEVICE):

[W8086X4224_nif]

   DriverName = WRND32$
   VENDOR = 0x8086
   DEVICE = 0x4224
   NDIS_SYS = "W29N51.SYS"
   NDIS_INF = "W29N51.INF"
   SSID = "ANY"
   DEBUGLEVEL = "NONE"
   OPTIONS = "STACK32"

STACK32 I've found to be important. In particular, when I first started 
experimenting, I could not load UNIAUD and GenMAC (for this card, at 
least) without it (I got the beep symptom Ed described and a hang  at boot).

Also for troubleshooting, try REMMING your USB statements (ISTR some 
issues tweaking those up at first).

I believe I have a similar configuration in Diane's T30 with the 2915 card.

Yes, notebooks can be stubborn in that regard!

And it should.  Again, sorry to hear of your troubles, and if it looks 
like a flakey card, I'll send you another to swap and test out.
