Yes - you should not do that.
As the error message says $driver is not a reference. 

   print Net::Lorcon2::lorcon_create("wlo1", \$driver); #where $driver

Yes - you should not do that either. At least, this time you have passed something that is a reference.
But it's not a reference to the right thing, and therefore causes a segfault.

As I said in my first post, the correct thing to do would be: 
my $driver = "madwifing";
my $if = "wlo1";

my $drv = lorcon_find_driver($driver);
if (! $drv) {
   print STDERR "[-] Unable to find DRV for [$driver]\n";
   exit 1;
}

my $lorcon = lorcon_create($if, $drv);
if (! $lorcon) {
  print STDERR "[-] lorcon_create failed\n";
  exit 1;
}

What happens if you do that ?
In view of what marto dug up, it may not work either - but it's at least worth a try.

Cheers,
Rob
