The T43 has a built in Intel wifi that normally works quite well with 
the genmac support.  On my T42, I don't try to be fancy with switching 
between wired and wifi.  I set up the adapter for the wired and then 
copied \ibmcom\protocol.ini to \ibmcom\protocol.wire.  I then set up the 
adapter for wifi and copyied \ibmcom\protocol.ini to 
\ibmcom\protocol.wifi.  I can then copy the appropriate protocol file to 
protocol.ini and reboot the system to switch.
