[driverloader] Acer TravelMate 661LCi locks up

[Toby Collett]

 From my breif look at the archive this seems to be a common issue in 
various guises, and is the same one that im having.
my system is an nx7000 hp with the intel 2100b mini pci card, same 
driver as below, whever the driverloader module is inserted while the 
driver in its list (ie after web config) it will break teh system, 
generally locks up keyboard, and sometimes the mouse, remote sessions 
into the macine over the wired lan acrd still run, but any network 
commands (ie ifconfig) will lock up. Same goes for shutdown, the machine 
locks up when it reaches the deconfiguring net interfaces command.

Previous posts have said that this is something to do with the 2.6 
kernels because the same cards/machines will work with the 2.4 kernels, 
I havent had a chance to try my card with a 2.4 kernel (currently 
running 2.6.0-test9).

Same request as everyone, has anyone got this card going on the nx7000 
with 2.6.0-test9 or ahve any ideas, dldrconfig locks up so i cant dump 
the config info.

tried with driverlaoder 1.34 and 1.38

Thanks,
Toby
