[driverloader] iwconfig - SET failed on device

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

since you obtain a warning message when using the 'iwconfig' tool, you 
could try to upgrade your kernel to a 2.4.27 or even a 2.6.9 kernel from 
http://www.kernel.org.

According to the output of the 'iwconfig' command, it seems that you are 
not using DriverLoader for this wireless interface. You should try with 
DriverLoader that you can download from :

http://www.linuxant.com/driverloader/wlan/downloads-license.php

and the installation instructions are at :

http://www.linuxant.com/driverloader/wlan/install.php

If you require more assistance, while the DriverLoader package is 
installed, 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,
