I think you have your answer right there, under your nose: ERROR: Unable to
activate 802.11b WaveLAN since Newton Device Drivers are not in the System.
One of the package that is part of Newton Internet Enabler 2.0 is "Newton
Devices.pkg". You have to install that package. In fact, you should install
all packages from the NIE 2.0 archive. If you already have installed them,
then it probably means you did install them on an external card while the
driver is on the internal memory, thus the driver gets loaded first but the
Newton Devices driver hasn't been loaded yet.
So, make sure you install all packages from NIE 2.0 onto your internal
memory and try again.
