[driverloader] Strange loading problems

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

this is unlikely the source of the problem. On most systems, when the 
wireless interface is not activated with a specific button on the 
laptop, the DriverLoader module is inserted into the kernel and a 
wireless interface is created. However, you will be unable to see an 
access point in the output of the 'iwlist scanning' command in a root 
shell for the wireless interface driven by DriverLoader.
