You're maybe missing a package, or you didn't install the whole Newton
Internet Enabler packages and the needed drivers all on the same store. You
may not have created a worksite specifically for using wireless. I read
somewhere, sorry can't remember, that the best place to put the wireless
settings was in a specially created worksite. You might want to give a try
to that if you haven't already done so. Check the packages needed so that
they all sit on the same store, or you'll end up with drivers being loaded
before the core and being not activated. That step is very important.
