[driverloader] Help to connect an Apple AP

[Sebastien Stormacq]

Hello,

I had version 1.50 from last week :-) I nevertheless upgraded to 1.52
and it works !!

Great product, great support !

I did not try yet with WEP enabled ... I will do that tonight.

Strange that the download link to the Centrino driver on the
Fujitsu-Siemens page goes to a licensing warning that basically says
that we now have to pay for the driver even if we bought the hardware
... :-(  Strange Windows community ...

Cheers,


Seb
