[driverloader] Open Suse 10 wlan1

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

this is a known problem on SuSE 10.0. It is quite possible that the 
source of the problem is that DriverLoader and udev disagree with the 
name of the wireless interface.

You can change the name of the wireless interface used by DriverLoader 
with the 'dldrconfig --netdevname' command in a root shell. You can 
change the udev rule which associates the MAC address of the wireless 
device to the name of the wireless interface in a file in the 
'/etc/udev/rules.d' directory. Once you have changed the file, you must 
run the 'udevcontrol reload_rules' command in a root shell.

The patch you refer to was for a previous version of DriverLoader and it 
was included in DriverLoader 2.30. Since the patch was added to 
DriverLoader 2.30, it was removed from our web site.
