The problem is that the Lantern APIs checks the procuct CIS string.
I have written a simple fake-PCMCIA driver to grab it (among other
information), and adding your card string to the NE2K sample driver
will make the Newton recognize the card. If it's NE2K compliant, it
should work.

I wrote this software for Hiroshi's WaveLAN driver to make a patch to
get his driver recognize standard WaveLAN cards. But I've been told
that his driver didn't work.
