Most of the time, this kind of error (where your card is not recognized) is
because you haven't installed all the packages from the "Newton Internet
Enabler" archive, or, if you're sure you installed them, you did install
them on an external flash RAM card. All packages (except the Internet Setup
and ISP Template packages) have to be installed on the internal memory of
your Newton. Then, you also need to make sure that the Wavelan driver is
also installed on the internal store. The Wavelan driver depends on the
packages in the NIE archive, so those packages have to load first. Once you
got them installed, do a soft reset.
