[driverloader] configuration question

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

it seems that DriverLoader is working fine since you are associated 
(connected) to the access point according to the output of the 
'iwconfig' command.

According to the information you have provided, it seems that there is a 
problem to set the default route:

---
ERROR: Error while excuting:
        Command 'ip route replace to 169.254.0.0/16 dev wlan0' returned:
        RTNETLINK answers: No such device
        Configuration line: 169.254.0.0 - 255.255.0.0 wlan0
---

It is quite possible that you will have to change IP routing related 
information with YaST for the wireless interface and/or the ethernet 
interface.
