[driverloader] Problems with Netgear WG511T, Fedora Core 1, and Driverloader

Hello,

I have installed driverloader, as per the instructions
@ linuxant.com, and I seem to be having an interrupt
problem of some sort. Here's the problem. After
boot-up, as soon as I try to access the network
(trying to ping my switch for example), I get errors
in the dmesg output and the network is unreachable.
The output of ifconfig and iwconfig look normal. But,
if I pull out the card and reinsert it, then the
network is reachable and all is fine. I have changed
the boot order for pcmcia and network services. Pcmcia
now starts before network. Below is the contents of
dmesg output (after booting and reinserting the pcmcia
card) and other relavent files.

Thanks,

Tony
