I have exactly the same problem with Suse 9.0 and my Toshiba M10.
The installation of the drivers is no problem, but after installation the
networkdevice eth1 does not show up in the network configurator.

The strange thing is, that ifconfig -a and iwconfig list the correct device eth1.
The WLAN card seems to find the accesspoint, because the SID and the
MAC Adress of the AP is correctly shown. But there is no network connection.
If i try to look at my network or to access the internet nothing happens.

#iwconfig

I have the problem with Versions 1.21, 1.22 and 1.24 of driverloader.

New problem with version 1.24. The driver loads at startup, but for device
eth0 whitch is the Intel LAN card not the WLAN card. And if im not connected to
a LAN the system hangs at that point ot the startup, trying to initialize eth0.
If a networkcable is connected i get the warning that the local network driver is
more recent than the one in the module of the driverloader.

Hopefully, there will be a solution for that.

Greetz, Philipp.
