To conclude this topic, here's what I found out with Colin's help.
* Make sure the right firmware is in the correctly named folder.
* Set /both/ wired ethernet and the wifi interface to "DHCP".
* After the first connection to the wifi router you can white-list the
MAC address of your wifi card (depending on your router model) and
enable MAC filtering for a minumim of security.
* Be patient, the negotiation between Haiku and the router can take a
while.
I'm happy to report that my "Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network
Connection (device 4222)" works flawlessly with my unencrypted wifi
router (Fritz!box 7020). Thanks Colin!
Regards,
Humdinger
