Hi

I just installed driverloader on my Thinkpad T41, driver seem loading 
fine but impossible to get access to my network or seeing AP.

I'm on CentOS 4.2 with 2.6.9-34.EL.stk16 kernel and the laster release 
of driverloader : driverloader-2.31_k2.6.9_34.EL.stk16-1rh

Here the log in my dmesg :
OsAllocateFlags(203416, 0x0): failed, OsIrql=2
driverloader: NdisAllocateMemoryWithTag: OsAllocate(Length=203408) failed

I'm using the lastest release of IBM Wifi drivers :
ThinkPad 802.11bg and ThinkPad 802.11abg wireless LAN Mini PCI adapter : 
v4.1.102.1095
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-52527

Broacast is enable on my 2 access point :

# iwconfig eth1 :
eth1      IEEE 802.11-DS  ESSID:"WALHALLA2"  Nickname:"mugenlnx"
          Mode:Managed  Bit Rate=54Mb/s
          Encryption key:11DD-9E90-B725-DCF1-E85A-9C76-BB

          Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

 # iwlist eth1 scan
eth1      Failed to read scan data : No data available



This is the dmesg when i start driverloader :
