Hmmm, the WRT54G is one of the routers I had problems with. I updated
to the latest firmware, which didn't resolve the issue. I should note
that I have both Mac and Windows laptops that connect wirelessly. And
this problem existed before I added the Newton to the mix. The Mac,
Windows, and Linux servers on the wired ports are always unaffected.
The radio lockup seems to happen less frequently when there is only
one device using wireless, be it Mac, PC, or Newton (though I rarely
have less than 2 devices active at any given time).

(...shrugging shoulders and not wanting to stray too far off-topic...)
