WiFi using Linuxant DriverLoader with 2.6.11 kernel

Now if they would just fix it to work with S3 'suspend-to-ram'.  I used
Driverloader for quite a while until I tried to get S3 to work.
Driverloader refuses to stop and trying to rmod -r and then reinserting
it upon resume doesn't work either.  I tried Ndiswrapper and it works
with S3.  I do have to say that Linuxants installer and support are
great though, well worth the $20.

For all of you who are using FC3 with the Linuxant DriverLoader (a
wrapper for Windows WiFi drivers to run on Linux, similar to
NDISWRAPPER) --

Please note that the Linuxant DriverLoader software that was functional
under the Linux 2.6.10 (and earlier) kernels does NOT support the 2.6.11
kernel. To run DriverLoader under 2.6.11, you need at least
driverloader-2.25, which was released on March 3, 2005. (Two new
versions, 2.26 and 2.27, have been released since then. I suggest
downloading the latest version.)

Download the new version from
http://www.linuxant.com/driverloader/wlan/downloads-installer.php

Note: This was the last remaining issue preventing me from running the
2.6.11 kernel on my Acer TravelMate 290. The other issue -- the
dysfunctional Synaptics touchpad -- was finally solved by adding
"psmouse.proto=imps" to the kernel line in grub.conf. Many thanks to
Homayoun Shahri for giving me this solution here:
