How to install intersil prism 2.5 chipset drivers?

Hi, i need to install intersil prism 2.5 chipset drivers on http://www.hpcfactor.com/support/cesd/h/0028.asp
to my WinCE 5.0 but i can't. I extracted the file to .cab and then mailed it to
WinCE 5.0. When i tried to run the .cab files i saw the following error:
"Setup failed: The application can not run on this device type.
Please install the application specific to this device type."
How can i solve this error?
Please help...thanks..

what CPU does your device have? what is your device model?

You have WinCE 5.0, the drivers are for CE 4.x, so... I think the error message says all

My device is an ICOP PC104 card.
BrianD where can i find the intersil prism 2.5 drivers? Help please. I stuck!!!

You have already found them here on hpcfactor, but as it is stated, they are not for 5.0.
I have not such a machine, and I have no idea if you can find them somewhere else.

well, older drivers can run fine on newer CE OS'es, it is not that.... what is your CPU, buymn?

They should, it depends on how well they are written.

Do you remember all the software (mainly device drivers) that ran fine on NT/2000 but was incompatible with XP?
If developers use undocumented functions, non-standard entry points, etc, incompatibilities arise easily.

PC104? So it is a single board computer?

I guess you want to plug a CF/SD wireless card in a PCMCIA PC/104 module (ICOP 190x?). If this is the case, well, I think you have no luck here.

The architecture is completely different. You should go with an ethernet module connected to a wireless router/repeater.

hehe, someone else argued that all win2k drivers will run on xp fine.. i don't know,.. for example we have a laser printer that only has win2000 drivers, no official XP driver, the win2k driver has to be run under XP in win2k compatibility mode.
so both of you are right?

This is a single board pc. Its CPU is x86 based. My problem is that i can't find a usb-wifi adapter that has WinCE 5.0 drivers.
About 10 days i am searching, couldn't get any clue.
Anyone know a usb-wifi adapter that has WinCE 5.0 drivers? Thanks...

I don't wanto to be boring but I believe the only way to go for you is to use plain ethernet connected to a wifi repeater. That solution does not need any driver as everything can be configured via a web browser.
Of course, if you need more details, I can try to help you here or by e-mail.

Hope this helps

Himm..So that way can i create an ad-hoc network? If so, that would do my job too. But again the same problem. What wifi adapters do that?

if it is x86, that's why the driver wouldn't install, it is written for ARM you usually get this message when trying to install something written for a different cpu.

No wifi adapter. I'll try to clarify the idea.

I guess you have a PC104 mainboard and (maybe) some stackable modules. Right?

In this case, you can get a PC104 ethernet module, which gives you a wired ethernet connection. Then you buy a wifi repeater, i.e. a box that normally extends the range of a wifi connection. Usually a wifi access point (i.e. a router) can be used as a repeater, if properly configured. Some units are very small, the size of a deck of cards, if space is important.

It is the repeater that connects to your wifi network, either ad-hoc or managed, to use Windows-lingo.

You don't need any wifi drivers on the PC104 computer, because the router/repeater is configured via a web browser from any computer. Of course you do need the TCP/IP drivers for the PC104 wired ethernet card, but they come with the unit, of course.
