[driverloader] Problems with driverloader-... rpm

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

to use a 16K stacks DriverLoader RPM package, you must first install a 
16K stacks kernel available at :

i586: 
http://www.linuxant.com/driverloader/wlan/full/downloads-fc3-kernel-i586.php
i686: 
http://www.linuxant.com/driverloader/wlan/full/downloads-fc3-kernel-i686.php

then boot in this kernel.

You will be able to obtain the MAC address of your wireless card when 
the right DriverLoader package is installed for your kernel version and 
you have uploaded the Windows XP driver to the Web Configurator. Note 
that you do not need a license in order to perform all these steps.

Regards,
