I contacted Novatel, not about the Merlin, but about the AirCard.
The Aircard consumes less power, and also has an outboard power
supply option. They said that it doesn't function via normal
AT commands (David Watson may be able to comment further), therefore
it wouldn't be possible to write a script to make it work. However,
they did say that they have new products coming that would be
AT-command driven.

I too would still love to get wireless IP access to my MP2100, and
I am praying all you smart programmers can get a WaveLAN card to work
someday for our AirPort stations.
However, I just ran across this also:
http://www.novatelwireless.com/Products/merlin.htm
as the company has said "Mac drivers will be delivered sometime".
I understand us "Newtonites" would still be at the mercy of some
Newton-programmer-genius to get this to work in an MP2100, but again-
I'd be willing to pay for these drivers!
if someone can figure them out.
thanks!
I apologize if this product is "old news" to those hunting a wireless
solution as well.
