[driverloader] Dlink DWL-510 cannot find accesspoint

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

please try with different versions of the Windows XP driver to see if there is 
a difference.

For the 8180L Realtek Windows XP driver, it is quite possible that you will 
have to edit the .INF file before you upload it with the Web Configurator. 
You will have to change one of the PCI ID listed in the .INF file to match 
the PCI ID of you wireless card. You can obtain the PCI ID (including the sub 
PCI ID) of your wireless card with the 'lspci -vvvn' command in a root shell.

If you require more assistance, please send at support at linuxant.com the output 
of 'dumpdiag'. Type the following in a root shell:

---
dldrconfig --dumpdiag
---

Just send us the generated file located in /tmp ('driverloaderdiag.txt').
It'll help us solve the problem.

Regards,
