Hi,

could you please send at support at linuxant.com the output of 'dumpdiag'? 
You should generate the dump just after a reboot and just before you use 
the commands to fix the problem. To generate the dump, enter the 
following command 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,
