[driverloader] Inspiron 8600 + true mobile 1300?

[Linuxant support]

Hi,

please try the new 1.23 version released yesterday. It will probably fix the
locking problems.

I do have the NVIDIA card, but I doubt this is the problem -- mine is on
interrupt 10, not 11 as is DriverLoader. My kernel version is 2.4.22-ac1.
Also, noteworthy is that this problem might be new with DriverLoader 1.20,
hard to say since it only comes up under load. On the other hand 1.20 did
fix the problem where "essid any" wouldn't work as expected, so I'd hate
to go back.
