Please look at http://home.roadrunner.com/~computertaijutsu/rhhw.html

I suspect that the card of the 901, which is relatively old, should work out of the box.

Thank you very much for the advise. It indeed works. The problem was that the network manager did not start by unknown reason. When I started nm-applet from the command line, I was able to connect.
