[driverloader] Intel pro/wireless again

[Marc Boucher]

Hi John,

I doubt that the problem now is kernel related, since we have successfully
tested 1.22pre1 here with 2.6.0-test9 and you have also tried 2.4.22.

Is there a wireless on/off switch on your laptop? Perhaps it
might have something to do with the lack of RF reception you
seem to be experiencing..
