[driverloader] Dell True Mobile 1300 on Inspiron 8500 w/SuSE 8.2

[Linuxant support]

Hi,

on one of our test machines, we have a problem attaching to an access point.
We found out that it is an extremely strange incompatibility with the video
card. The video card is an MSI Geforce 4 Ti4200. It works perfectly under
windows, but not under Linux with the DriverLoader. If we swap the video
card with an Asus V7700 Geforce 2 GTS, it also works.

We can see the access point when we run "iwlist scan", but when we try to
tranmit packets we get transmission errors in adapter's statistics.

We are still investigating this issue.


You can run "iwlist scan" from a root shell to verify if your adapter
detects your access point.

I notice that you have a NVidia based card. It would be great if you could
swap it with a different graphic adapter and test again.

Thank you,

Spent 6 hours trying to get this to work with the driverloader with no
success. Looking at the warning file in Suse, it seems none of the
commands it sends are valid. The diag is below. Does this really work
with the Truemobile 1300?
