What wifi card for IBM workpad z50 ?

Hi,

I try to to understand ... but well!

What wifi card will work with the z50 ? Looking for a pc card that is not too "protuberant" and that will work with ease..

Any idea, version.

Thanks

Sebastien

The Agere-based cards that CAuser's been selling should work nicely. Dunno if he has any more, though.

Hi,

As far as I remember I used Aironet 350 and RoamAbout DS.

Cheers

Hey thanks. So one of those 3 cards will work without any issues (drivers ... ?)

I just would like to put it in and go online to upload files

By the way: anyone use a better browser than IE ?
Any input?

Thanks
S.

The Agere-based ones (the RoamAbout and CAuser's cards) should work fine with the standard Agere driver:

The only alternative browser is WorldTalk, which is downloadable from cmonex' site:

Hey,

Thanks to all.

I received a message from Causer, but i had alread ordered a linksys aironet 350 ... which is why I am posting again!

I loaded the drivers and installed the software. Everything seems to work fine (lights blinking to find a network)
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/wireless/airo_350/3...

But that is it. After a while, a message pops up telling me that the IP can not be made blabla.

Am I doing something wrong ? I used the 2.23 version from cisco directly (fro a MIPS with CE 2.11).

Do I have to enter manually a SSID ?

Or is there a better card (the one from Causer ?)

Let me know (I can trade if needed ?)

I had problems with Aironet 342 (?) on MP900C and Skeye.pad SL. To download the driver from Cisco, I had to fill out a lengthy form and register. Finally, I sold all Aironet. No more Aironet for me.

haaaaa!

It is an aironet 350. Oh well! Was not expensive. Maybe for my 880 ?

Anyway, CAuser, will you cards work for sure on the z50 ? I just need to browse the net during some classes and send some of my typed doc by email (so i can avoid removing the CF every night, putting it back in ...)

Just need something that would show me the wifi around, and connect to something.

I tested the card successfully on MP800 with CE 2.11, MIPS4000, 131MHz, and 32MB RAM. After comparing MP800 with Z50, you only see the difference in RAM amount.

Seems good!

Well, to my surprise, the z50 came with teh 32 mb addon (so I have 48 mb

Pm sent!

PS: thanks. you are always here at the good time!

Got the cards, Thanks again CAuser.

Works with the 2d driver you sent.

I tried WorldTalk, but is there any other browser ?

What about ibrowse or ccbrowser ?

S.

iBrowser is a prehistoric app that never really became more than a release candidate. It was orientated for the PsPC market, who lacked Pocket IE.
