This is true enough, and I should perhaps uninstall the XWLAN widget from the xCenter and try that, however, considering the number of times that the MMOS2 modules failed to load during bootup, I do really suspect an issue with the sound such as an IRQ conflict.

Hi Lewis
You concentrate on UNIaud with your problems !
Could it be that xCenter may cause it ?

XWLAN can be installed off OR within xCenter !?

HTH & good luck !

Cheers, svobi

Ugh. The above does not make for a pretty picture on the ThinkPad T30. As many of you know form my Wi-Fi sessions at Warpstock, I
        
have  
a bit of a supply of Cisco 350 mini-PCI adapters. As I'm still waiting for my next shipment of Intel 2915ABG's to show up, I
        
wanted  
to get something into the recently-rebuilt T30 for Diane, so I used one of the Cisco adapters.

GenMAC loads up fine and recognizes the card (I double-checked with pci.exe, as these cards are actually Access Point cards - AIR-MP20B-A). Upon reaching the desktop, everything goes fine until xCenter loads, and then a nasty TRAP008 hits (hot interrupt). So, I figured that the problem may be with UNIAUD (I was using the build which ships with eCS 1.2R, dated 8/2005). I updated UNIAUD, but no dice. In fact, at odd intervals, the other MMPM modules fail to
        
load  
(perhaps the interrupt conflict followed by the TRAP008 leaves
        
either  
the audio or the Cisco card in a hung state upon warm reset).

So, I'm going to roll back and wait for the Intel cards to show up. Is anyone else using a Cisco mPCI with GenMAC, XWLAN, and UNIAUD?

        
Have you tried to rem out uniaud?
      
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.  It has the 168C 1014 Atheros Communications 11a/b/g Wireless mPCI and the Intel 8086 109A PRO/1000 PL Network Connection.  Both of which are supported by the Genmac driver though neither are actually working.  It looks like it is related to the problem with the Intel 2200 BG where some are
      
having  
to change BIOS power management settings (though those settings are not having an affect helping these cards).
      
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.

    
Yes it is pci express.  It may be related to that, hadn't thought of it.  I have SNAP, USB, and PCMCIA (not fully tested) working.  The audio is close but HDA wasn't completed, I may be working with Paul Smedley on that as he has the opportunity.  I worked with Pasha last nihgt trying to see if acpi could gain me anything.  He seems to think it should be working from what he sees (after adding some lines to the acpi.cfg file anyway).
