This probably won't work since the network name needs to be set to 'Newton'
at the base-station level, so unless somehow an existing network is named
'Newton' at your place, the driver won't work.

AppleTalk and TCP/IP both work with this driver. I've had more consistent
performance with TCP/IP than AppleTalk, in fact.
