[driverloader] problems with broadcom card and driverloader 1.36

[Linuxant support]

Hi,

the "802_11_DESIRED_RATES st=NOT_SUPPORTED" error is returned by the NDIS 
driver. You cannot set the rate using "iwconfig" in this case.

If you want to change the rate, you should verify if there is an option in the 
advanced settings using the web configurator. Otherwise, remove the parameter 
from the interface's configuration and the errors should not be displayed 
anymore.

Please download and install the latest version (currently 1.47) and if you 
still can't access your network, run "dldrconfig --dumpdiag" from a root 
shell and send us the file generated in '/tmp' at support at linuxant.com.
