[driverloader] I can't use wpa/wep

[Marc Boucher]

Hi Cristiano,

driverloader-1.73 includes workarounds for these issues, and will be 
released in a few hours.

There is also a new wpa_supplicant on the driverloader Downloads 
section.

Please try again with both of these and let us know the results.

Thanks
Marc
