Hello Ray
  I can't help a lot here but feel compelled to try to offer at least some
clarity since this thread has gotten me started on my newest box upon which
I had given up as it is wireless and I couldn't find support for my
wireless nic.  Kris bringing up genmac specific to my card might change
that for me.

  As for you and this post I am unclear as to exactly what you mean.  So
let me see if I have it right.  Wired, via 8139, connects to your router
but if you install it first (do you mean as Lan0? as well as first in
config?) your system won't boot? at all?, or just errors out on the nic? 
However even if it boots you'd prefer to use wireless so really the wired
connection is basically a dead subject other than for minor verification
that the router works in wired mode.  It might be muddying the waters to
discuss two separate problems in one thread so I'll stick with your desired
result as I understand it, wireless.

  You didn't mention what happens to the other when your situation
reverses, ie when genmac is second.  However as long as the genmac driver
finds your nic, as I am assuming it does, that's all that counts in
config.sys regarding which loads first.  I'm very new with genmac but I see
it has some separate tools from xwlan such as scan.exe, ssid etc which is
most if not all of what it needs to connect once setup correctly.

  My biggest difficulty at following the progress of the main thread is in
your first sentance where you state that you can connect wirelss and
private.  Isn't that the goal? or is that a typo? or am I just way off the
track here?  I had thought you couldn't connect wireless and private so had
suggested trying wireless public to eliminate all else but the wep key.
  
  So where are we now?
Jimmy
