[NTLK] Problems with New Proxim Orinoco Gold Card

Hello Newtonians,
I am stumped, and wonder if anyone has run into the following problem with new Proxim Gold cards.

I just purchased a Proxim Gold Orinoco 802.11b card (number 8420-WD), and have not been able to get my MP 2100 to recognize the card!

Whenever I install the card, a message box appears which says "There is a problem with this card (Newton can not recognize this type of card)"

I replaced the original "Newton Devices 1.0" file with an update from the UNNA archive for Proxim cards (located here http://dc.unna.org/unna/drivers/ethernet/proxim/ ), but that did not help.

I have Hiroshi's Beta driver loaded now, although I have tried his new Release version as well, and the one at the UNNA archive. Irregardless of what I do, the MP 2100 will not recognize the card.

Does anyone have any thoughts as to what the problem could be? Has Proxim made changes that require changes to the driver?

Would be grateful for any advice.

Best Regards,

Jon
