[driverloader] Connection drops and instability on DLink G520

[David Wood]

This problem is 100% consistent and repeatable across not just two, but
four quite different PC's, from a 500 Mhz PIII, Athlon XP 2100, 2600,
and Athlon64 3500. Also across most of the 2.6 kernel revisions,
including 2.6.9 (vanilla).
