This card did not work for me either(same symptoms) I think it is because
it is a new version of
the card (hence the "Air") Does the antenna on the end of the card look
like a chiseled square
shape? (The newer card, which did not work for me) or sort of a round-horse
shoe shape (The
old card, that is reported to work) Maybe there is a difference in the chip
set or something in
these two cards. I gave up and got a Farallon card, now I get the card
slip and power light
when it is inserted in the Newt.
