On the T30 use the soundmax audio drivers from the IBM website rather 
than UniAud.

I don't think the STACK32 is the problem.

I know there is a new version of Genmac being developed, perhaps that 
will support the 2915ABG better ?

Also try installing WiFi on its own without the Intel Pro/100 driver 
(which should be the native driver - not Genmac wrapper)

Only load the TCPIP protocol to the card.

Cheers/2

Ed.
