[driverloader] how to install a dell wireless 1450 USB Adapter on linux pc

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

the problem,is that you have the pre-compiled packages of DriverLoader 
for the following kernels:

---
2.6.9-22.0.1.ELsmp
2.6.9-22.0.2.ELsmp
---

installed while you are using the '2.6.9-22.0.2.EL.stk16smp' kernel. 
Please uninstall DriverLoader with the 'dldrconfig --uninstall' command 
in a root shell and please download and install the appropriate 
DriverLoader package to support your kernel version and architecture from:

http://www.linuxant.com/driverloader/wlan/full/downloads.php

Alternatively, you could install the generic DriverLoader package in the 
RPM format, also available from the page above.
