TRADE: (UK) - Orinoco Gold WiFi card for CF WiFi card ..

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to do a straight swap of a nice condition, and fully working Orinoco Gold WiFi card (Agere chipset) in its original box (a bit battered) with CD and user guide, for a working Compact Flash (CF) WiFi card that must be compatible with H/PC 2000 and WinCE 2.x. A PCMCIA to CF type II adapter would be nice, but not important

Anyone in the UK looking to do such a trade can PM me through here, or send an email to alexquant at yahoo.co.uk.

Thanks!

Alex.

Now sorted - I've obtained a Senao NL-2511 Compact Flash WiFi adapter that works perfectly with a Jornada 720.

wow, you sure it is not the SL2511-CF (check on card bottom)? then you'd have the same card as me.

*checks* .. yep, its an "NL-2511CF" which works perfectly with the reference Prism 2.5 drivers. The Orinoco was good, but stuck out far too much - more so than another generic PCMCIA wireless card. So, I reasoned, I'll go for a CF card and a PCMCIA adapter - then, when I bung the 720 in my rucksack I don't have to worry too much about snapping the end off the wireless card

If you like, I can scribble out the "NL" and replace it with "SL" if it makes you feel better?

hehe mine looks the same. so why is it not the same model number?

I don't know, cmonex. I had a look at the specs for both models, and they appear identical. Maybe "N" means nice, and "S" means smelly ..

I notice these WiFi cards are type I CF, and not the thicker type II as I expected - have you tried your card in a PCMCIA adapter, and if so, what type of adapter is it (type I or II)?

Thanks,

Alex.

i use mine in a pcmcia (cf type I) adapter all the time... except when it goes in the sig3.

is there any wifi card which is applicable to wince 2.11? thanks

The Agere ORiNOCO Gold mentioned above will - and a lot of others. Check the Hardware Compatibility List in this site. (Link is "Hardware & Accessories" on the home page.)
