[driverloader] Driverloader + WPA + NetworkManager status?

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

we have not tested WPA support with NetworkManager recently but we are 
aware that there is some problem with WPA support in DriverLoader with 
very recent versions of the wpa_supplicant and possibly NetworkManager. 
Our developers will take a look at this problem in the near future and a 
patch is likely to be added to solve this issue. The patch will be 
installable with the 'dldrconfig --patch' command in a root shell once 
it is available.

Please send to 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'). This information will help the developers to 
fix the issue.

Regards,
