[driverloader] D-LINK DWL-520+ no device

[Johan Robinson]

Hi!

I'm having problems installing driverloader, latest version on my Mandrake
2.4.22-10mdk (mdk 9.2)
I'm using D-LINK DWL-520+ WLAN PCI HBA

I dowloaded the latest driverloader (eval)
installed the rpm (successfully)
dldrconfig --info says there's no card present and suggests configuring via
browser at http://127.0.0.1:18020/
The browser asks for windows driver .INF file, which I directed to via
device install CD.
However, when I click 'OK' button, the browser hang.

After this everything is really strange...

ifconfig hangs
iwconfig reports lo0 and eth0 - not wireless (which is OK)
dldrconfig --dumpconfig hangs on ifconfig -a 
ps -ef | grep ifconfig shows ifconfig processes are running
The browser can no longer connect to http://127.0.0.1:18020/

Therefore, I'm not able to find out my MAC-adress (needed for licensing),
nor configure my WLAN interface. Also, when rebooting or shutting down
system, system hangs on loopback interface. I have to shutdown the "hard
way" (power-cycle).

Any suggestions or experience on this?


Happy for any answer.

Best Regards 
Johan Robinson
