[driverloader] Re: Compaq 2170CA/Knoppix3.6/USR5410 PCMCIA card

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

as long as you do not see an access point in the output of the 'iwlist 
scanning' command, you will be unable to connect to an access point.

Please make sure that your access point broadcast it's ESSID and make 
sure that the ESSID string is not empty. You should also disable all MAC 
address filtering and make sure that the channel is set between 1 and 
11. If your access point have a CTS protection mode, please disable it. 
You should also make sure that you use the latest firmware version for 
your access point.

For the problem that you can't no longer use the ethernet device while 
using DriverLoader, it is possible that the problem is that the default 
route is set to the wireless interface and this is why you are no longer 
able to access the Internet with the ethernet device.

If you require more assistance, while the 6.05 USR driver 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.
