[driverloader] toshiba A25 /fedora core 2 / atheros -- error -5

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

if you have obtained the

---
driverloader: probe of 0000:00:10.0 failed with error -5
---

error message, it means that you have installed the right Windows XP driver.

You are probably using a Fedora Core 2 kernel with 4K stacks and the 
Windows driver for some chipset requires as much as 12K of stacks.

We offer a pre-compiled RPM of a Fedora Core 2 kernel with 16K 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

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.
