[driverloader] Which USB 802.11b adapters work

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

for the problem with the Netgear MA111 Wireless USB adapter, while the 
Windows XP driver is installed with the Web Configurator and the 
wireless device is attached to your machine, please send at 
support at linuxant.com the output of 'dumpdiag'. Type the following in a 
root shell:

---
dldrconfig --dumpdiag
---

Just send us the generated file located in /tmp 
('driverloaderdiag.txt'). It'll help us solve the problem.

The following devices are officially supported by DriverLoader 2.28. 
This information is straight from the DriverLoader source code:

Wireless USB devices based on the Atheros chipset are also officially 
supported (this is not shown in the list above). Please also note that 
if your USB wireless device is based on a chipset which is already 
supported by DriverLoader it is quite possible that adding its USB ID to 
the list above will make it work.
