GenMAC does not yet support any of the new MiniPCIe-adapters because Willibald, the developer of GenMAC, has no hardware to debug the driver! He got two Intel PRO/Wireless 3945 MiniPCIe and an adapter for his PC from PCIe to MiniPCIe but unfortunately this is not working because the behavior is not the same like in a laptop with MiniPCIe :-( So my idea is to donate him a laptop with MiniPCI/PCI-express plus a port-replicator with serial port that in future he also can develop and debug drivers for new ethernet- and WLAN-cards based on MiniPCIe! Because they are still the best, and a lot people who are using eCS do have this type, I would recommend a ThinkPad T60 with ThinkPad Essential Port Replicator. The smallest model that would meet the requirements and the port replicator you get in Germany for 1300 - 1400EUR including taxes as new item with 3 year warranty. Alternatively s.b. in Germany can borrow him an ThinkPad T60 and a port replicator for some weeks that at least he can fix the 8086x109A and 8086x4222/4227, but for further development we will get the same problems we have now. So who is willing to donate some money that we can buy such a system for him? Please write me an E-Mail to "genmac <AT> godawa <DOT> de" if you can borrow a device or how much you obligatory would like to donate! I will coordinate everything, if the promised amount of donation comes near what we need I will collect the money, I will get the cheapest model that meets all requirements and send it to Willibald. If we collected too much money I will donate the rest to Netlabs.org! I don't know yet how to collect the money the best way from outside EU, any suggestions are welcome! In Germany and the EU the easiest and cheapest way is a banktransfer, in the US my aunt is living so maybe this also could be a way to get "cheap" money from there - or we make a Netlabs.org-sponsoring over Mensys especially for this project ... @Bob/Roderick/Joachim: Is Serenity/Mensys able/willing to donate too? You are also participating from GenMAC for eCS, so it would be nice to get s.th. from there too!
