[driverloader] Success with Fedora Core beta 3 on a Dell D600

[Joe Ammond]

I'm running FC beta 3 (the community version of Redhat) on a Dell
D600, with the Dell 1400 card.  The driver works flawlessly connecting
on both 11a and 11b networks with a variety of APs (cisco 1200s, HP,
Lucent/Avaya).  I also have the kernel panic when I "halt -p" the
machine, and will copy down the "Oops" when I get a chance.  A halt
without poweroff, or reboot works fine.

I had to modify modules/GPL/kcompat.h to get the driver to compile,
however.  The build failed with a redefinition of free_netdev.  The
following patch fixed it:

I'd like to say thank you to everyone at linuxant for developing
this.  I hope that when the demo license runs out it will continue
to be freely available.
