Tony Kan has a great guide about getting a Newton connected wirelessly. I suggest starting there and making sure WiFi works.

For transferring text files, NCX by Simon Bell is still the best option on OSX. <http://newtonresearch.org/connection/index.html>
In the zip file, along with the NCX application, there is a folder called “Newton Packages” that contains 2 packages you need make docking work over Ethernet/WiFi; Dock_TCP-1.2-en.newtonpkg (or the DE version for German) and EthernetDock.newtonpkg. You will need your serial connection to get the packages over to the Newton like you did for the WaveLan drivers.
