So the question is the FAQ should read something like:

How do I install Ethernet drivers and extensions on my Newton without a
serial connection?

Using this question as a starting point, we could then elaborate on:

1) Methods of doing so (What are they? Card swapping. Connection via Mac
or PC *with* a serial connection. Beaming.)

2) Packages required (as per your list...)

What else are we missing?
