[driverloader] "fix" to netndis.c for Linux 2.6.19

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

thank you for reporting this problem and a suggestion to solve it.

A patch is already available for DriverLoader 2.35 to solve this issue, 
it can be installed with the 'dldrconfig --patch' command in a root shell.

A new version of DriverLoader will be released in the near future with 
official support for the 2.6.19 kernel.

Regards,
