Have you had the chance to install the Newton Internet Enabler packages? You
will at least need to have the following packages installed: inetenbl.pkg,
inetstup.pkg, enetsup.pkg, and newtdev.pkg. They can be found at unna:

<http://www.unna.org/view.php?/apple/software/Internet/NIE2> Look in the
REGPKGS and ENETSUP folders

Also if you go back website for the wireless driver <
http://www.ff.iij4u.or.jp/~ngc/eng/newtwave.htm> there is a link for the
source code. If you download that zip file there is a compiled package that
is version 1.08b. It doesn't require registration to use WEP.

Hope that helps get your setup working.
