For some reason, all the people that tried this driver with a WaveLan or
ORiNOCO we unable to get it working on their Newton, me included. That's
a basic setup with one AirPort base station. It seems that only the
creator of the driver has it working, and even this was not clear, so
I'm assuming he got it working.
