[driverloader] Problems with 64-bit broadcomm driver

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

please make sure that those kernels were compiled without the 
'CONFIG_PREEMPT' option enabled. If it is enabled, please re-compile 
your kernel without it and then re-compile the DriverLoader module with 
the 'dldrconfig --kernel' command in a root shell.

If you require more assistance, 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,
