Great tip! Just picked one up for my C860 which is on the way.
Read a review on this SMC and it sounds like a good one, too. |

QUOTE What Zaurus are you going to use it with?
860. Pda Buyer's Guide likes the card (in an old review - but doesn't mention Zaurus compatibility). I was wondering whether it's discontinued at this price, but other merchants sell if for $80+, and it's still listed as current stuff on SMC's site. Anyone had weirdness getting this to work in an 860 (which I don't have in hand yet)? |

Just got mine today - plugged it into the 860, and within 5 minutes (network and email setup) I was downloading emails and surfing this forum! thanks again for the tip

Hi
I use this card with my SL-5600, it is excellent, it has one of the highest reception/transmission power for the Sharp. It works and its better than my full sized Microsoft MN-520 PCMCIA card in my laptop. |

just ordered it...what ROM's are you guys using with this Card?
I've got an sl-5600, and am running the Sharp 1.32 ROM, with a custom dloaded kernel. I have a Linksys WCF12, which I was only able to get to work under the latest Openzaurus (tried tkc, zynergy, sharp). I think that it is a prism3 rather than 2 (recently changed by Linksys). On OZ I could connect, but I could never get WEP to work correctly, and DHCP never seemed to work either. I'm hoping this card will 'just work' so I can move on and quit spending time on wifi
