I'm an idiot so any help appreciated.

I have a Sharp Mobilon HC-4500 / WinCE 2.11 and an eHome EH101 (ver. 1.01) wireless G card.

The card has a Marvell 88W8335 chip so drivers for the following cards are supposed to work with the EH101:
• TENDA TWL541C(P) Wireless NIC
• NETGEAR WG511v2 54 Mbps Wireless PC Card
• NETGEAR WG311v3 802.11g Wireless PCI Adapter
• 3Com OfficeConnect Wireless 54Mbps 11g PC Card
• Allnet ALL0262
• Cameo WLG-1101
• Encore ENPWI-G
• PRO-NETS CB54GM
• TRENDnet TEW-421PC revB1
• TRENDnet TEW-421PC revB1.1R

I have seen pictures of the Allnet, Cameo and Encore cards and they look identical to my eHome card. My search has not been productive, so are there WinCE drivers for any of those cards, and if so how do I install and configure?

Thanks.

I think your problem might be that the eHome EH101 is a 32-bit cardbus device. WinCE2.11 (and I thought its hardware) doesn't support that standard. If you need a wireless card, look for the 16-bit versions.

802.11g is also not supported prior to Windows CE 4. Only 802.11b cards will work in H/PC Pro devices.

Wow you have a CE2.11 HC-4500? That is INFINATELY RARE so look after it. As for wifi get a card that is 802.11b and uses the Prism 2.5 or Orinoco Gold (the latter preferably Lucent) chipset. Those are the only cards that will work.
