LAN Card for CE 2.0

Hi,

Is there a PCMCIA ethernet card and/or wireless card that is still readily avaliable and is compatible with CE 2.0.

Thanks,

Joseph

My Agere ORiNOCO Gold card works just fine on my monochrome LG Phenom (CE 2.0) as well as on all my H/PC Pro and H/PC 2000 devices. I've seen lots of them on eBay. But, as I've mentioned on other threads (for H/PC Pro), you want the Lucent/Agere card, not the Avaya/Proxim one. Look for ORiNOCO on the HCL; the 2.0 driver there works fine.

yes there are some.

many of the prism based wlan cards will work just fine. beware, not all of them.

my microcom ce combo lan/56k card worked fine with the ne2000 driver, even though it is 10/100 and not just a 10 mbps card

Does ActiveSync/CE 2.0 accept 100mbps transfer rate?

nah no 100 mbps but it will be a lot faster than serial i promise you

Cool, I can just imagine installing a program is 10 seconds... And gosh, everythingis so weird in 256 colors (I am using my Compaq 2010c). Hey, I have an idea. Has anyone used Bluetooth Serial adapter, because you do not need the PCMCIA wireless cards, you can use the adapter and just sit somewhere else in your home and use internet and also transfering files with the host computer.

you can get a bluetooth CF for your MIPS CE 2.0

unfortunately, its range is not as good as wlan. much worse in fact. speed too.

better to use the pcmcia (even better, CF) wlan card

The 3COM Etherlink III cards work fine. (The 3C589D(-COMBO) anyway)

I have a socket wired lan card and a linksys combo pcmcia ethernet card (model ec2t). both work fine with the ne2000 driver.

anyone knows a cheap working lan card which i can buy in munich???(in germany)

marco

wlan is also ok but real cable lan would be better so that i casn hack into the school servers;-)

I would sell you mine, but theres the postage cost, have you tried eBay?

Nick

3C589C, pick them up for £2 on eBay, work in pretty much anything (except some 2.11 devices that lack an updated pcmcia.dll)

I don't have CF slots... I know I could get an adapter, but...

Adaptor CF=>PCMCIA?????
I only know PCMCIA=>CF and thats possible because cf is a reduced pcmcia...
vice versa there will be some pins missing i think.

PS: I have found an easteregg in Pocket Excel(CE1 and CE2): Use the "Go to...." menu function to navigate to AA1000 then type in in small letters:"credits" without the "" and it will display you two credit pages...
