Actually, I was amazed it worked. I was expecting to have to manually enter the name of the basestation, etc. My home WiFi setup is "manual" so that I can make sure the Newt always gets the same IP for my NPDS server to work. So I created a new Worksite with a generic "DHCP" WiFi setup and it worked like a charm. I didn't enter any special information. In fact I set it all up the night before without any special knowledge of the particular netowork I would be using. It was much simpler than I expected it would be.
