Hello,

i've tried driverloader (v1.38) on an Acer TravelMate 661LCi.
After uploading the file w70n51.sys (dd. may 19, 2003) using the browser 
(Mozilla 1.5) the system locks up - no mouse, no keyboard.
Interestingly the LED signalling WLAN went on. But this does not help due the 
the system in unusable. I have to cold boot the system to get it running 
again.
Then i checked /var/lib/driverloader and realized that the *.sys file was not 
stored there. As result the WLAN device is not activated.
Placing this file manually to /var/lib/driverloader and re-loading the 
kernelmodule (rmmod / modprobe driverloader) results in the same system 
freeze as before.

Any hints ?

kind regards
    Petric
