Hello,
I have just downloaded and installed your driverloader 2.22 on my
Gentoo Linux (on Presrio R3000). It installed without problems and
loaded my driver (Broadcom). But now I can't get it working with
wpa_supplicant (I downloaded the newest stable version from their
site).

This is what I did so far:
zorka root # iwconfig 
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

eth1      no wireless extensions.

sit0      no wireless extensions.

eth2      IEEE 802.11g  ESSID:"dunco"  Nickname:"unknown"
          Mode:Managed  Bit Rate=54Mb/s   Tx-Power=25 dBm

          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

zorka root # cat /etc/driverloader/dldr_wpa_supplicant.eth2.conf
network={
        ssid="dunco"
        proto=WPA
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        pairwise=TKIP
        group=TKIP
      psk=<generated with wpa_passphrase>
}

zorka root # wpa_supplicant -i eth2 -c

Does anyone know of a HOWTO on the net that explains how to set it up?
