[driverloader] MDK 10.1CE kernel 2.6.8 module wont load

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

when you try to connect to the Web Configurator (the 
http://127.0.0.1:18020 web site), do you see the login window? If not, 
you could try to manually start the Web Configurator with the following 
commands in a root shell :

---
cd /usr/lib/driverloader
DLDRHELPERACTION=stop ./webconfd
DLDRHELPERACTION=start ./webconfd
---

Then, try again to connect. If it still doesn't work, please make sure 
that you have a non-empty root password and you could also try with 
different web browsers to see if there is a difference.

Regards,
