[driverloader] Linksys WMP54G

[Peter Dabrowski]

Hi,
Good news, bcmwl5driverloader 1.05 is working with WMP54G card and Mandrake 9.1
I have to manualy edit file ifcfg-eth0 which is located at:
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
I,ve been getting some error message so has to create directry
/etc/sysconfig/network/default   and create file ifcfg-* which was a copy of ifcfg-eth0

icfg-eth0

DEVICE='eth0'
BOOTPROTO='dhcp'
ONBOOT='yes'
HWADDR='xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx     #MAC Address of device
WIRELESS_ESSID='xxxxx'         # yours network ESSID

after saving   do
ifdown eth0
and restart device
ifup eth0
The green lights start blinking on client card and WRT54G router
I've been able to open routers configuration pages 
I will do futher tests with internet connection and file transfer in next few days
If there will be any trouble I let you know.

General comments
Standart distribution configuration tools do not detecting driverloader
so network has to be configured manually.
When the network was running I opened Mandrake network configuration tool. It looks like
eth0 was detected an running but as soon I tried to open configuration it disapeared.
I found that ifcfg-eth0 come back to some default setting which not been compatible with driver
So I think that driverloader integration has to be improved.

Regards
Peter
