[driverloader] tnetw1130 not loading

[Dan Allen]

I gave the enclosed rpm a try and I can report that it successfully
brings up the module without the forementioned error, however now my
cpu starts working like a boat motor out of water and my temperature
goes up to about 69C, with the mouse/keyboard responding every 5 -
10 seconds until I eject the device.  The /var/log/messages reads:

The spinlimit I believe is what I am seeing cause the cpu issues.  I
will await further instructions.  I appreciate the prompt response
you gave to my first inquiry.

The idea of implementing a serious complex set of business 
logic rules in a scripting language like Perl really scares me. 
Perl is too much 'write once, read never again'. And that's no good 
for business logic that requires maintenance.
