Hello. From what I can tell, the Intel Prowireless CF cards are the same card as the older Socket and Symbol Wireless CF cards. It seems both versions have much newer and less crappy drivers than this really old Intel driver.
I just tried the Intel PRO/Wireless 2011B LAN CF driver from the Intel site and it seems to work fine with my Symbol Wireless Networker CF WiFi card. The only problem is that the Intel version of the driver is CRAP! Its so old it does not even support any kind of encryption! :0
You can download much newer and nicer drivers from the Symbol/Socket support sites for these cards. They even have native Handheld PC 2000 drivers that are much better than that really crappy, old Pocket PC 2000 driver on the Intel site. While the native HPC2000 drivers are better than the crappy Intel ones and support WEP encryption, etc... they are still lacking a bit in my opinion. The Handheld PC 2000 and Pocket PC 2000 versions of the driver from both Symbol and Socket do not have any kind of Network scanning functionality. You need to type in the SSID manually. They also don't work with PocketWinc and that is the only program that even supports these cards. That is why I suggest you use the Pocket PC 2002 version of the driver/config app on ARM devices.
(on MIPS there is no choice
) This version of the driver is actually much nicer than any of them. It has built in network scanning, WEP support, and all the other essentials you expect from a Wifi card's companion software. And best of all, it works with PocketWinc so if you don't like the simple built in SSID scanner, you can use a much nicer 3rd party app.
There is a downside to using it, though. You need to modify the Wifi config program so it calls a renamed version of the Pocket PC MFCCE300.dll or it will conflict with the HPC2000 version of this DLL because they both have the same name. You will also need iphlpapi.dll to use the configuration program on the Jonrada 720 but if you have a J728, you should already have this in your device's ROM. Finally, you will need to use Winwatch or Hou Ming's newest Aygshell.dll to see all of the available options because they are designed for 240x320 screens and will be but off on a HVGA Jornada.
The newest version of the Pocket PC 2002 driver seems to be Socket's version. So get that one from their site below. If you want the simpler Handheld PC 2000 one, you can get that from either vendor.
Symbol's Support area for this card is here:

Socket's is here:

All of the dlls you will need along with a pre-hacked PocketWinc may be found on cmonex's site here:

However, since your card is not sold by Socket or Symbol, you will need to do one extra step so that Windows CE will load the driver for you and recognize your card.
It is likely that the PNPID
(Plug and Play ID
) if your card is different from the Symbol/Socket version and so you will need to manually add your card's PNPID to the registry so that WinCE will know to load the driver when you insert your card. To make this easier for you, I have attached a .REG file with the needed PNPIDs to this post. To import it into your device's registry, you will need to first download a copy of Tascal Regedit
(HPC
) from here:
http://www.hpcfactor.com/support/cesd/s/0082.asp
After TRE is installed, go to View>Settings, click the "Set" button and exit TRE. Now just run the .reg file and hopefully your card will now be detected when you insert it in your device!
Hopefully this will work for you...so Happy WiFi-ing!
