[driverloader] Mandriva 2007 x86_64 Driverloader keeps disconnecting

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

you could try with different versions of the Windows XP driver, if 
available, to see if there is a difference. You could try to upgrade the 
firmware of the access point. You could also try without WPA (only WEP 
or no encryption at all) to see if stability improves or not.
