Lewis,
Here is the directory of the wrapper directory.  Does this tell which
driver specifically it is?  Its the Broadcom B/G

Directory of C:\genmac\driver\WRAPPER_14E4_4318

 4-14-07  9:09p         <DIR>      0 ----  .
 4-14-07  9:09p         <DIR>      0 ----  ..

12-22-04  2:32a       369,024      0 a---  bcmwl5.sys
        4 file(s)     370,763 bytes used

There are no settings in the BIOS for memory, except for how much will
be used for the video card.  I was only using 32MB for the Video but
when I upgraded the RAM I changed it to 128MB.  I'll try and put that
back to 32MB and see what happens.
Thanks,
Sam
