Thanks a lot for your help. In fact, I had installed it once correctly, 
and the card showed up nicely and everything. It even displayed the 
signal strength of the network, but the DHCP thing didn't work, or it 
didn't connect at all.
Anyway, I ploughed through all the documentation, and found two 
suggestions which I tried:

	- Install twice, and install the packages separately as described on 
musox's homepage.
	- Don't leave the DHCP Client ID field in System Preferences empty.

And it worked. So anyone reading this having similar problems should 
try these steps.
Also, anyone reading these connected to the project: From the number of 
times I read about similar problems on the support list, it would be 
nice for new users if this could be in the official FAQ.

Anyhow, thanks a lot for the driver, which is now working perfectly.

Are you sure the driver is installed and working properly?
