Well Mark, I should have been more specific.
Yes the GenMAC drivers do work on my T42p, but the
XWlan widget does not.
It always tries to access the wrong lan interface
(always one above the total # of availables).
The problem with plain CMD access is that you can not
change the SSID "on the fly" and/or use encryption.
Other than that, yes I can use the GenMAC drivers on
the T42p.
But for a travelling consultant, those restictions are
often bothersome.

Greetings
