Hello,

I'm trying time to time new releases of driverloader.

My card works quite well with old bcmwl5driverloader-1.05

Then it didn't work with any of 1.2x releases.

On 1.25 I've been able (for the first time) to see my AP with
 # iwlist eth1 ap
command (but never after first execution. Always after second)
and with
 # iwlist eth1 scan


Now I tried v1.34.

For the first try I could see AP, but couldn't connect to it (as usual).
But after resetting all iwconfig options it suceeded... but the keyboard
get disconncted (?). Not full freeze, as mouse and the OS still worked.

After reboot, again for the first try, no connection with AP (eth1: New
link status: Disconnected (0002)), but on second try - success (eth1: New
link status: Connected (0001)). So I have access to the Internet.
But trying to do 'dldrconfig -d', script & keyboard freezed again.

Reboot again, did 'dldrconfig -d' (attached) at the beginning , and
connected (at second run of following script) to Internet...

-- script wstart
ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth1 10.1.0.11 netmask 255.255.255.0
ifconfig eth1 up
route add default gw smc
iwconfig eth1 essid juljas.net
iwconfig eth1 enc XXXXXXXXXX restricted
-- script end

And all the time (with dldr >= 1.20) I'm getting messages like:
driverloader: probe of 0000:00:01.0 failed with error -5
driverloader: probe of 0000:00:07.0 failed with error -5
0000:00:09.0: cache line size not set; forcing 16
eth1: New link status: Disconnected (0002)
eth1:  at 0000:00:09.0 (MAC address 00:0B:CD:75:18:8F) ready
driverloader: probe of 0000:00:11.0 failed with error -5
driverloader: probe of 0000:01:05.0 failed with error -5

in dmesg.

Hope I can help you (with debugging) & you can help me ;)
Thanks for a great work!

Jan
