To respond to both you and Julian, I am planning to give that (disabling all sound) a whirl later on this evening, and will post my results. Meanwhile, I heard from my wholesaler that the pair of 2915ABG's I ordered should be shipping out to me by week's end. > BTW, I now have the Thinkpad T60 issued to me.

Andy, isn't that wireless card mini-PCI-Express, and not mPCI? I'm wondering whether these GenMAC issues are more closely related to the PCI architecture than the chipsets. -- Lewis ------------------------------------------------------------ Lewis G Rosenthal, CNA, CLP, CLE Rosenthal & Rosenthal, LLC Accountants / Network Consultants New York / Northern Virginia www.2rosenthals.com eComStation Consultants www.ecomstation.com Novell Users Int'l www.novell.com/openenterpriseserver Need a managed Wi-Fi hotspot? www.hautspot.com ------------------------------------------------------------
