I try to install Intel PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter with 
driverloader. Everything looks ok, but no IP number however my AP (DI-614+ is 
set to dhcp) On eth0 I get IP address from the same AP.
Here is the details:
from /var/boot.log:
IP/Netmask: 192.168.0.100 / 255.255.255.0done  <<<< this is for eth0
    wlan0     ERROR:	command 'iwconfig wlan0 mode Automatic' returned
	Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
	SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.
<notice>checkproc: /sbin/dhcpcd 1145
 DHCP client is already running on wlan0done
