[driverloader] Misc. problems with the driverloader module

[Alexandre Cossette-Pacheco]

Hi

I am using the most recent drivers and I am experiencing the same problems 
(netndis_xmitcomplete_handler: err -5 + ndisWrapCheckForHangTimerFunc_stk + 
other things in syslog + need to reload) but only when I am using a daemon to 
autoconfigure the wlan interface. When I use iwconfig manually or through a 
script, I do not have these problems. Are you using any special program to 
configure the wireless interface?

My configuration:
Distrib: Gentoo
kernel: 2.6.0-mm1
version: driverloader-1.54 with module built from tarball
Win drivers: w70n51.inf/.sys version 1.2.1.3
Adapter model  : Intel PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter

Good luck!
Alexandre
