I would love to. I have been known for years as a WiFi evangelist and
people said I was crazy because of my "prophetising". I even carry an
Airport with me on extended business trips and hook it up in the hotel
so I can roam about with my iBook and I have managed to convince some
hotel managers to install Airports in their lobbies ;-) Getting the
Newton onto the WLAN would really make my day. However, I judged from
Noguchi's website that the driver isn't really ready for prime time as
yet so I wait.
I was thinking about paying someone like Noguchi a few thousand dollars
to complete a driver but at the moment business is going very badly so I
can't afford any such sponsorship deal right now - I could rather use a
sponsor myself ;-)

Have you asked Noguchi-san about this ? He may be able to give you a few
clues.

Yeah, it's addictive isn't it ?! :-)
