[driverloader] FC2, centrino2100, dldr 1.70

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

we offer a pre compiled RPM of a Fedora Core 2 kernel with 8K stacks as a 
convenience for our users. You can obtain it from the DriverLoader download 
page at

http://www.linuxant.com/driverloader/wlan/full/downloads.php

Then, install the kernel and reboot in this new kernel. Finally download and 
install the DriverLoader package for this new kernel version. You can also 
obtain it from the DriverLoader download page at

http://www.linuxant.com/driverloader/wlan/full/downloads.php

Please let us know if you require more assistance.

Regards,


Jonathan
