[driverloader] configuration question

[Stephan Mankart]

hi,

i am a newbie, so my problem might have an *obvious* solution-- i don't
know.

i just installed driverloader...everything went fine, my linksys wpc11 v4 is
recognized, even the 'link' light on the card turned on, but still i am
unable to get an internet connection. is there an extra step i am
overlooking? anyway, here some output. the 'ifup wlan0' seems most
interesting to me....

linux:~ # dldrconfig --info

i'd be happy to post more output if necessary, i just don't know what is
relevant.

thanxs,
