[driverloader] WMP54G & Mandrake 9.1

[Philippe C. Martin]

Hi,


I just bought a Linksys WMP54G card & router and have the following 
problem: this is how I installed the rpm

[philippe at localhost linksys]$ uname -r
2.4.21-0.13mdk

rpm -i driverloader-1.44_k2.4.21_0.13mdk-1mdk.i586.rpm


Everything goes OK, but when I enter my regitration key( from Mozilla 
1.5 or dldrconfig -l), it just hangs, with nmblookup running and a perl 
script calling ip taking most of my cpu.


When I try to reboot, all network related service cannot stop - so I 
sync and stop the PC by hand (I don't like that).

Interestingly enough, when I restart, eth1 (that's WIFI) loads (with 
errors) ==>

If I try to log on to  http://127.1:18020/, it still tells me my key has 
not been entered.



PS: I completely reinstalled Mandrake 9.1 and the problem stayed the same.



Any clue ?


Thanks,
