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

[Linuxant support]

Hi,

please run the following commands to move the driver files in a temporary 
directory. This should allow you to reboot normally.

mkdir /tmp/ndis
mv /var/lib/driverloader/* /tmp/ndis

We will recontact you to investigate this issue further.

Thank you,
