Jens, 

Actually it turned out to be something totally different. I did not
have the Wired (Broadcom) NIC defined in MPTS yet. When I added the
IBM TP43  Broadcom NIC Driver, it now loads. 

My next problem is that xWLan 3.0 does not show the device as
available. When I click on the device tab nothing is shown. There are
no strange error messages in the LanTran.log and I'm still running
the 1.24 Bios on my TP 43. 

I had this working once, before the re-build, but I'm clueless at the
moment as to what to try next.
