[driverloader] I lose the configuration after the reboot

[Becky Bositampen]

Hi,

Thank you for this solution.  It enabled me to solve my problem.  Now, I
keep the configuration of the wireless to each reboot.  But, when I load
DriverLoader with "modprobe driverloader", I have the following message: 

"Warning: loading /lib/modules/2.4.20-31.9/extra/driverloader.o will taint
the kernel: non-GPL license - see LICENSE file; Copyright (c)2003-2004
Linuxant inc.
  See http://www.tux.org/lkml/#export-tainted for information about tainted
modules
Module driverloader loaded, with warnings"

I read the explanation but I did not understand well.  Why this message?
What do I have to make moreover for this problem?  
 
Best regards,
Bky

Hi,

do you absolutely need to use the 'cardctl insert' command or else it 
will not work at all? If this is the case, then the problem is unlikely 
related to DriverLoader. You could try the following workaround to fix 
the problem. Under Red Hat 9.0, please edit the file '/etc/rc.local' and 
at the end of this file, please add the following lines:

---
dldrstop
cardctl insert
modprobe driverloader
ifup <iface>
---

In the last line, you should replace <iface> with the name of the 
wireless interface used by DriverLoader, for example, eth1.
