I've experienced almost the same problem. What made it more troubling 
for me, however, was that for a short time, I was able to connect with 
the card. It was wonderful! So much better than the poor reception I'd 
gotten used to.

But when things started getting wonky, I reinstalled, ran the 
troubleshooting script and tried to get things started again. Somehow 
or another, this resulted in a situation that wasn't good at all. I'll 
spare you the details: Suffice it to say I had to back up my data by 
booting into FireWire disc mode, and then reinstall the system. While 
this may not be directly attributable to the driver, the proximity of 
the events has made me nervous. So, until there's a more stable version 
of the driver available (read: not a beta) I'm going to suck it up and 
deal with the poor reception of the TiBook.

For you amazing developers out there: What's the timeline for future 
editions? Will you be moving beyond the beta stage anytime soon? This 
greedy, good for nothing freeloader would very much like to enjoy the 
fruits of your labors.

Be well,
