Problem: Intel PRO 2011B LAN PC card in jornada 720

I've bought a secondhand Intel PRO/Wireless 2011 B LAN PC card for my Jornada 720, but I can't find drivers for it. Intel stopped supporting this card. Intel does provide hpc drivers for the 2011 card but for the 2011 B card there are only PPC drivers.

OK, I should not have bought this card ...... but I was told that this card should work. Well, it does not, so far.

The hpcfactor Hardware Compatibility List contains drivers for the 2011-card only and not for the 2011B-card.

Does anybody know where I can find hpc drivers for the 2011B????

Any help will be appreciated enormously!!

Thanks!!!!

If you absolutly need I've got a CD that came with the exact card that I used on my 720 just fine. Only thing is the card never ran well with anything like ministumbler.

I have an Intel 2011 B. I've never gotten it to work on any of my hpcs, sorry.

edit: Bob, what driver did you use? I have both the cd and all the downloads from Intel.

Ummm....if my HPC ever died I'd have to redo the drivers (had to do a few times...) and I would try the plain ol' 2011B and 2011 drivers. It would take some messing with but would get to work. But it's not worth the hassle really. Go splurge $15 (or free if you find a nice person) and get an old ORiNOCO Silver (which can be FW modded to Gold (Allows for 128-bit WEP instead of just 64)) and use them. Cheap, good, and they looooove linux.

I can't rightly do any testing with it cause my PC Card has shed a lot of pins from itself and doesn't work. So I honestly don't know which to use...

Bob,

did you get a hpc driver for the 2011B on your cd?
So it does exist??

Maybe Intel will send me a copy ....

Thanks!

Yeah there's one labeled for WinCE 3.0 (HPC) that came with. But the disc is older and I know what they've got on their site (or did) is newer and better.

Intel says "Unfortunately, as you are aware this product is now End of Interactive Support, so we are unable to provide support by email or telephone for this product.".

I think I better give up this battle and buy a new card that works for sure.

Thanks for all your help en advices!!

Good Idea. I looked at my 2011b cd contents and could only find ppc drivers.

Hi, I have a Intel PRO 2011 (not the B version) LAN card. I remembered seeing this in the past. (From the Intel Site.)

Intersil* 2.5 Chipset ----- Yes


Have you tried the Intersil drivers?

Just a thought.

The 2011b is drastically different from the 2011. The 2011b has no onboard firmware.

a wlan card without firmware? ..

That sounds lazy on Intel's part...

Yep. The Symbol 24 series are the same. The firmware is integrated into the largish driver.
