[driverloader] wlan0 driver startup problem

[Jim Sabatke]

Thanks for the answer.  My problem wasn't load order, but I didn't know 
how the network services were started at boot time.  Your answer led me 
to the config files that showed me that the ifcfg-* files are loaded in 
ls sort order.  I simply made eth0 a manual start and everything now 
comes up fine.  I can easily live with this solution.

Your driver works great!  I am now a paid registered user!
