Hey Sean,
This "LucentWaveLAN" driver for the Newton will only work in AdHoc mode
(a 802.11 connection that only takes place between two standalone
devices, and it is fixed on channel 3). So any 802.11 access point or
WAP will not work for connecting using this driver. Only another
computer with a PC card set to AdHoc channel 3 will be able to
communicate with the Newton.
