I’m looking for a wireless Ethernet (802.11) card for my iPAQ – any suggestions? It’s an iPAQ 3630 running PocketPC 2002. I have a PCMCIA expansion jacket, and also have a Type-1 CompactFlash adaptor card (very much like this one) - so I guess I can use ethernet adapters in both formats.

Has anyone here used a WiFi card (that is the same as 802.11, right?) with an iPAQ PDA? Can you recommend any particular card, or brand? I want to be able to encrypt traffic, but I understand that's a standard feature - true?

Cheers...

The Orinoco (aka Lucent) Gold card is the best out there as far as I'm aware, and it just so happens I'm selling one Brand new, never used, still in box.

Have a look around and make me an offer if you're interested. (andym172@[no spam]yahoo.com)

Andy, the web site makes no reference to support for WinCE (specifically PPC-2002). You sure it's supported?

I have a D-Link DWL-650C (i think...) for mine.

Works fine - cool strenght tool and other utils as part of the driver too.

Fatman - Yes, I'm 99.99999% sure it works.

I used to have an Ipaq (running WinCE) and was going to use the card in conjunction with that but never got round to it.

Used both a Cisco 350 full size PCCard in the PC Card sleeve and a Symbol Wireless Networker CF card in the CF card sleeve.

No problems with with either of them.

Thanks for the responses. I think I'm going to go for Linksys kit: the WCF12 card and the Wireless Access Point. The card is guaranteed to work with the iPAQ and PPC2002 and they're pretty cheap, too.

Appreciate the input

(edited because my seplling is rubbish )
