| 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. |

*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? Edited by alexquant 2006-07-04 11:02 AM

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. |

| 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. ) Edited by CE Geek 2006-07-17 12:11 AM
