Not all of the NIE packages will "stay" on the MP130, to let you beam them
later, is my recollection.
When I was fiddling trying to make ethertalk work on the MP130, only some
of the components would actually stick, the others might have been
uninstallable. so you'd not be able to beam them even if your goal was to
get them on the 2100.
You might get just the Devices and the ethernet driver to stick, and be
able to connect to the 2100 via ethernet after beaming them over with just
that, but even that might not be enough components. It's been too long, I
don't recall which pieces would and which would not "stay" on the 130.
I've loaned out my MP130 or I'd test; but this might help Jon out when
some packages refuse to install...try the next one and see if you can get
just enough for ethertalk on the 2100, you won't be able to get the full
NIE to even persist on the MP130 long enough to beam it to the 2100 (hope
that's a correct recollection).
Also, beaming from MP130 to 2100 for me worked MUCH better when I froze
just about all hte packages on the _2100_ first (in fact it was essentially
impossible to succeed until I did that). That trick has been mentioned on
the list a couple times, but is worth mentioning again. Jon's 2100 though,
is likely pretty empty of packages at the moment :)
