[driverloader] startup problem with pre-compiled driver for FC1 2199

[Rick Marsico]

Jonathan,

I issued the following command "dldrconfig --netdevname=eth2"

I received a response stating that there was no such interface.

I then issued dldrconfig --remove followed by dldrconfig --auto.

Reissuing the -netdevname=eth2 then worked.  However, on reboot I receive
the same message... "Device eth2 has different MAC address"

I've successfully upgraded through four kernels up to this point.  I have an
eth0 (internal wired), eth1 (docking station wired), and eth2 (wireless
pcmcia).  I've tried installing driverloader both docked and undocked with
the same result.

Rick

Hi,

it is possible that there is confusion on boot which network interface 
DriverLoader will use for your wireless card. To fix this problem, 
please run the following command in a root shell :

---
dldrconfig --netdevname=$iface
---

In the previous command, you should replace '$iface' with the name of 
the wireless interface that DriverLoader should use all the time. For 
example, eth1, eth2, etc... instead of eth%d.
