[driverloader-announce] DriverLoader 1.22 released

[Marc Boucher]

Hi,

A new version of the Linuxant DriverLoader for Wireless LAN devices
is now available from:

	http://www.linuxant.com/driverloader/

This release fixes a locking issue that could cause occasional system
hangs. We therefore recommend that everyone upgrade to the latest
version.

A detailed list of changes is available below.

Please report new or persisting problems to support at linuxant.com.

Cheers
Marc
