[driverloader] Help to connect an Apple AP

[Marc Boucher]

Please try driverloader-1.52 or newer. Most error messages
should disappear.

If it still doesn't work, then please try upgrading 
to the latest centrino wlan driver and failing that,
email dldrconfig --dumpdiag output to support at linuxant.com
Also you should specify what kind of authentication/encryption
is enabled on the AP.

Thanks
Marc
