Finally got my MP 2000 online using a Lucent WaveLAN silver card. 3 hours it took me to work out the settings! Kudos to the Japanese guy for writing the drivers.

I've a Lucent Wavelan Gold but the driver installed doesn't work. I assume I need to find the Newton Internet kit, but am having difficulty working out where it can be found?

Thanks

Congrats. I've got wifi on my eMate. I agree that the drivers are a major accomplishment. I just wish NIE was a bit better. I've never liked it much.

I wish that the driver was totally free and WEP worked no matter. Also, that little slip that comes up every time I soft reset telling me to register gets annoying.

WPA would be nice, but I don't see it happening. They got it on the airport card, which is a special lucent wavelan.

-digital ;)

I've just installed it. No registering reminder and no WEP problems. Maybe it's been opened up with the latest download?

My 20 meg storage card turned up today, works like a charm. Now I'm just waiting for the bluetooth card [:D] ]'>

Depends on the price really, I love mine and I've managed to pimp it hugely so I'd say yes.

OK, make sure you've downloaded the relevant drivers:

Set your base station to WEP or unencrypted.

go into Owner info and set up a new worksite and add all your details, wifi setup etc in there. Then when you use Newtscape (or whatever) to surf, connect using that worksites info.

It can take a while to fine tune so be patient.

Not sure if anyone is still monitoring this thread, but wondering if anyone can explain the -60088 error I'm getting with a Lucent Wavelan IEEE Silver and both my MP2100 and eMate. I have Eero mesh wifi at home and have also tried the hotspot on my iPhone. It seems to hang on 'getting DHCP configuration' before the error message pops up.
