[driverloader] Help to connect an Apple AP

[Sebastien Stormacq]

Hello,

Now that I have had some sucess with my centrino laptop and driverloader
on a corporate network, I decided to buy a base station for my home
network.
I choose an Apple Airport Extreme (i.e. 802.11g) base station since I
have Macs at home.
I can't manage to have it work.  The AP is seen but I can't get an IP
address from it.

Short question : does anybody have an Airport base station at home that
works with DriverLoader (on Centrino ?)

Long question : I have strange errors/warnings in the messages file. 
What does that mean ?


Here are the messages when I load the driver:
Dec 15 21:57:51 spip kernel: eth1: New link status: Disconnected (0002)

and here are the messages when I issue an ifup eth1 command
