[driverloader] ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Operation not supported

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

we have added a new version of the SuSE 10 patch which should fix the 
issue described below. Simply install the new version of the patch with 
the 'dldrconfig --patch' command in a root shell while using the 
original (i.e. non-patched) version of DriverLoader 2.29.
