Fwd: [driverloader] Driverloader Install On Ubuntu 2.6.15-23-386

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

the problem is that we do not see a wireless device in the output of the 
following commands in a root shell:

---
lspci
lsusb -v
---

As long as you do not see your wireless device in the output of these 
commands, you will be unable to use DriverLoader.

We can also see this line in the output of the 'lspci -v' command:

---
0000:00:0f.0 VGA compatible controller: VMware Inc [VMware SVGA II] PCI 
Display Adapter (prog-if 00 [VGA])
---

I guess that you are running Ubuntu with the VMWare virtual machine. You 
should read the documentation provided with VMWare to know how to enable 
networking access on the virtual machine, a Linux wireless driver is not 
likely to be required even if your host OS have a wireless device.
