The main highlight of this new release is significant compatibility improvements with simultaneous support for multiple Windows drivers. DriverLoader 1.2 now supports Intel PRO/Wireless (Centrino), Intersil Prism GT/Duette/Indigo, Broadcom, Atheros, and other Wireless LAN drivers for Windows. Linuxant is committed to continue improving DriverLoader so that it becomes a fully compatible generic solution capable of running the majority of Windows NDIS drivers. DriverLoader technology is the ideal Linux solution to support devices for which no adequate native open-source drivers are available. It also allows vendors to drastically reduce time to market or eliminate the need to support multiple drivers for Windows and Linux. By using the same NDIS driver on both platforms, significant resources can be saved. All Linux-specific code in DriverLoader remains open-source, allowing it to be used under any supported version of the kernel. Thanks to DriverLoader, owners of Wireless LAN devices (CardBus and PCI) with compatible Windows drivers can now use their devices under Linux, enjoying the full speed of the latest Wireless LAN technology with the freedom of the renowned open-source operating-system. DriverLoader packages can be downloaded from Linuxant's web site at no cost*. The software is easy to install on standard Linux distributions (RedHat, SuSE, Mandrake, Debian, and derivatives) with any recent 2.4 or 2.6 kernel, and includes a user-friendly Web-based configuration system. Vendors interested in using DriverLoader technology to enable their products under Linux should contact services@linuxant.com. For more information or to download your copy of DriverLoader, please go to http://www.linuxant.com About Linuxant Linuxant is a world-class supplier of consulting, software development and professional support services. Linuxant works closely with leading vendors and OEMs of semiconductor, PC, embedded and communication/wireless products, as well as with companies in other industries, providing technological expertise and solutions to maximize the potential of Linux and open-source. Additionally, Linuxant develops and distributes specialized system software, such as device drivers for specific applications. * Linuxant is happy to provide free trial DriverLoader licenses, while discussions are under way with hardware vendors to finance development costs. Linuxant hopes that DriverLoader will remain free for end-users.

Cheers Marc -- LINUXANT ADDS WI-FI PROTECTED ACCESS (WPA) SUPPORT TO DRIVERLOADER MONTREAL, QC Dec. 14, 2003 - Linuxant inc., a world-class supplier of consulting, software development and professional support services is announcing the immediate availability of DriverLoader 1.50, featuring state-of-the-art Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) security. DriverLoader is a revolutionary compatibility-wrapper allowing standard Windows NDIS (Network Driver Interface Specification) drivers shipped by hardware vendors to be used as-is on Linux x86 systems. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a standard promoted by the Wi-Fi Alliance, to overcome the vulnerabilities of Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), the traditional mechanism for interoperable Wi-Fi security. WPA provides users with the confidence that their data will remain protected and that only those authorized can access the network, by using the 802.1x standard for port based network access control and the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) or the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for encryption. Thanks to DriverLoader and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), owners of Wireless LAN devices (CardBus and PCI) with compatible Windows drivers can now use their devices under Linux, enjoying the full speed of the latest Wireless LAN technology with the freedom of the renowned open-source operating-system, without exposing sensitive data to the weaknesses of WEP. The latest release of DriverLoader can be downloaded from Linuxant's web site and also features stability improvements and compatibility with Intel PRO/Wireless (Centrino), Broadcom, Intersil Prism GT/Duette/Indigo, Cisco, Realtek, Texas Instruments, Atheros, and other Wireless LAN drivers for Windows.

For details, please see the official press release below (or http://www.linuxant.com/company/press_dldr20.php) Cheers Marc -- LINUXANT RELEASES DRIVERLOADER 2.0 WITH USB SUPPORT AND ENHANCED COMPATIBILITY MONTREAL, QC Aug. 10, 2004 - Linuxant inc. is proud to announce the immediate availability of DriverLoader 2.0, featuring major improvements such as significantly enhanced compatibility and support for USB Wireless LAN adapters with 802.11g technology and state-of-the-art Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) security. DriverLoader is a revolutionary compatibility-wrapper allowing standard Windows NDIS (Network Driver Interface Specification) drivers shipped by hardware vendors to be used as-is on Linux x86 systems. RNDIS (Remote NDIS) is now also supported for USB. DriverLoader technology is the ideal Linux solution to support devices for which no adequate native open-source drivers are available. It also allows vendors to drastically reduce time to market. The latest release of DriverLoader can be downloaded from Linuxant's web site and also features compatibility with Texas Instruments, Intel PRO/Wireless (Centrino), Broadcom, Conexant/GlobespanVirata/Intersil Prism GT/Duette/Indigo, Cisco, INPROCOMM, Marvell, Realtek, ZyDAS, Atheros and other Wireless LAN chipsets. The software is easy to install on standard Linux distributions (RedHat/Fedora, SuSE, Mandrake, TurboLinux, Debian, and derivatives) with any recent 2.4 or 2.6 kernel, and includes a user-friendly Web-based configuration system and professional online technical support. Current users of DriverLoader can upgrade to the latest version at no charge. Vendors interested in using DriverLoader technology to enable their products under Linux should contact services@linuxant.com. For more information or to download your copy of DriverLoader, please go to http://www.linuxant.com About Linuxant Linuxant is a world-class supplier of consulting, software development and professional support services. Linuxant works closely with leading vendors and OEMs of semiconductor, PC, embedded and communication/wireless products, as well as with companies in other industries, providing technological expertise and solutions to maximize the potential of Linux and open-source.

Hi List,

I hope somebody can help me with this problem:
I have successfully installed the driverloader kernel module and loaded the windows drivers using the web interface.  Problem is that driverloader cannot detect my device, even though it is connected....
Doing  cat /proc/bus/usb/devices shows that the device IS connected:

shen@localhost ~ $ cat /proc/bus/usb/devices

[snip]

T:  Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=05 Cnt=01 Dev#=  3 Spd=480 MxCh= 0
D:  Ver= 2.00 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS=64 #Cfgs=  1
P:  Vendor=050d ProdID=7050 Rev= 0.01
S:  Manufacturer=Belkin

E:  Ad=81(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 512 Ivl=0ms
E:  Ad=01(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 512 Ivl=0ms

However, the web interface says that the device is not connected.  Not sure if the fact that no driver is associated with it is the problem and/or how to fix this......

Any advice would be greatly appreciated,


Julian


Also I attach DMESG output iin case it is helpful:
