Summit SDC-PC2CF10+Dell 1180 WLAN CF=WiFi w/o protrusion for any HPC (CE 2.11-4.xx) w/ PCMCIA Slot!

One more test was done to compare Dell with HP adapter and Dell with Summit adapter. WiFi signals showed equal strength ('very good' as indicated by the driver) in both cases. So, 'internal' WiFi within MP900C is real. 3 photos are attached.

I bought 1 more PC2CF10. I just need a NBP to go with it as a wireless H/PC.

Success...got mine ordered today...should have it in 2 weeks or thereabouts....wo wo!

Good gift for ourselves for Thanksgiving or Christmas. I got 2nd one yesterday morning by UPS overnight directly from Summit in OH (I guess they expedited the shipping after the earlier delay as I ordered it on 11/12).

Wo wo! Got the adapter today...and it was simple to use. I chose the Samsung Magiclan because it works with 802.11B or 802.11G networks. Pictures below show...

1) The wifi card in the adapter...nothing sticks out at all
2) The adapter in the Mobilepro 900C
3) The signal of the wifi card using the adapter

Excellent! MP900C with internal 802.11g WiFi.

My NBP arrived yesterday, but I can't put my 'Internal' WiFi in. So, MP900(C) is the only one that allows added internal WiFi.

A second thought came to me about 'Internal' WiFi on NBP. Why don't I use Samsung MagicLAN SWL-2610C? Indeed, with Rich's tip and exchange of stuff, I got a working Samsung card on NBP. All I need to do is to solder an antenna or even 2. Stay tuned.

Okay, 'Internal' WiFi using Samsung card and Summit adapter is done successfully on NetBook Pro. Soldering is a little bit tough as I'm not a technician. See the 3 pictures below. Enjoy! With this combination, SIMpad and Skeye.pad can also have 'Internal' WiFi.

Well, the driver does not work on Skeye.pad with ARM CPU though it works on MP900C and NBP with Xscale CPU. I guess It won't work on SIMpad SL4 though my SIMpad only shows a mesh without fully booting to the desktop.

Here is a photo showing my mod to Samsung SWL2610C. I soldered 2 antennas to the card so that it can achieve diversity.

Nice antennas...

Soldering was tough as the space is limited.
Rich, how is your mod?
