[driverloader] Fwd: Unknown symbol wireless_send_event

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

please read this entry in our DriverLoader FAQ located at:

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

---
I have a custom kernel and my WLAN interface doesn't work.

Make sure that your kernel is compiled with the support for 'wireless 
extensions'. You must enable 'Wireless LAN' under 'Network device 
support'. The options in the configuration file are 'CONFIG_NET_RADIO=y' 
and 'CONFIG_NET_WIRELESS=y'.
---

it is likely the source of the problem.
