[driverloader] Misc. problems with the driverloader module

[Linuxant support]

Hi,

please try with the latest Centrino driver (1.2.1.1) to see if it helps. You
can get it from the following link.

Subject: [driverloader] Misc. problems with the driverloader module


Context
-------

Distribution: Gentoo
kernel: 2.4.23-pac1
version: driverloader-1.54 (built from tarball)
Win drivers: 07/31/2003,1.2.0.58
Hardware: IBM Thinkpad T40, with Intel Centrino 802.11b mini-PCI card

Issues
------
The wrapper works ok to the exceptions of a few (show stopper) issues (see
below).

#1: After a couple hours of use:
Wifi stops working and i get "netndis_xmitcomplete_handler: err -5" syslog
messages, I have to unload and reload the driverloader module to have it
work again.
This has been happening since the first time I tried the driver, almost a
month ago. Since then I've upgraded it quite a few time, without any
improvement.

#2: I just got the following syslog error, it recovered though:

[...]

Any chances on getting this fixed ? I plan to buy the wrapper, but only if
it's more stable; otherwise i'll just replace the mini-PCI card with one
that has native drivers.

Thanks,

peter
