Is the card recognized when you insert it? Is "Use card for AppleTalk"
checked on the card slip when you insert it?
Well, then, the only conclusion I can come to is that your WaveLAN Silver is
a special flavor and doesn't have the same chipset than the original ones
that were available a couple of years ago. If you only try to connect to
NCU, it doesn't matter what settings you have in Internet Setup since
AppleTalk doesn't use those. So, the problem probably stems from an
incompatibility between the router and the iBook or the router and the
Newton...
