[driverloader] Help, please. Linksys WPC54G stopped working

Let's look for things that have changed between then and now.  There is
really only one obvious thing in my mind, but there's a couple of other
things to ask as well.  Before:

After:

I'm not saying that anything you have done is wrong.  I know far too
little about driverloader's internals to determine that.  But let's
discuss a few of the changes and the motivation for them.

1) You changed the hostname from localhost to pita.  Why?  How?
2) You changed the module location from
/usr/lib/driverloader/modules/binaries/i686/rh/linux-2.4.20-8
(driverloader's default rpm installation I believe) to
/lib/modules/2.4.20-8/misc/driverloader.o.  Why?
3) Have you tried the card in another machine just to make sure that the
card is in fact still functional?
4) You appear to be running the same kernel (good).
5) The pcmcia hardware is still showing the same resources (good).
