[driverloader] Can't configure WMP54G

[Brendan Brohan]

Hi,

The problem was of my own making.Changing the Wireless settings from
Auto to Managed and entering my WEP code sorted everything. I've
purchased my full key and am now enjoying (so far) flawless 54Mb service
with my setup. Thanks Linuxant for your great support ... Bren
