Funny - the experience was MUCH smoother for me. ALthough occasionally
it won't dhcp on the first try - but after whatever app I was using
with the internet tells me I can't connect I could ALWAYS re-select my
active worksite and try again successfully - no restart necessary. Have
you tried this?

Umm - 'location management' missing from newtons? What do you THINK
workplaces are supposed to be? The newton has tighter 'location'
support than even mac os 9 did.
