[driverloader] Can't configure WMP54G

[Brendan & Marie-Hélène Brohan]

Hope someone can offer a Linux newbie some advice.
I have Redhat 9 with driverloader successfully installed and key 
inserted. My wireless card is a Linksys wmp54g pci  that works fine when 
I boot under Win XP.  My problem is when I open the RH Network 
Configuration Panel, I can only see my onboard ethernet controller - my 
WMP54g isn't visible so I can't configure it. So I add new wireless 
hardware and select driverloader (eth1) from the options listed and it 
duly appears in the list. When I then try to activate it I get the 
following error message:

Error for wireless request "Set encode"(8BRA): invalid arguement "s:". 
Determining IP information for eth1 SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign 
requested address.

Any help would be appreciated.
