[driverloader] Unresolved symbol: wireless-send-event loading driverloader module

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

it seems to be a symbol versioning issue. Please disable the symbol 
versioning option in your kernel and recompile your kernel. Then, try 
again to recompile the DriverLoader module with the 'dldrconfig 
--kernel' command in a root shell.

Regards,
