Hello!
I have been using driverloader with Belkin 54g wireless adapter quite successively under debian-i386.
But I cannot get it to work under debian-amd64 with Broadcom 64-bit drivers. There is a number of problems.
1) Driverloader cannot be installed with 'dpkg -i' because of the error
dpkg: error processing driverloader_2.26_i386.deb (--install):
package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64)
So I used '--force-architecture' option with dpkg though I'm not sure if it's supposed way to install driverloader.
2) Driverloader always complains
Architecture-specific modutils configuration not found, using defaults
while 'apt-get install modutils' claims "modutils is already the newest version".
3) The last but not the least problem. When driverloader is loaded, it starts eating 100% CPU ('kdldrd/dpc' process in top) driving the system unusable. In some cases it also complains
Unable to unload driver to configure license; adapter in use?
"License status" information might not be up to date.
Please reboot your computer.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Max
