Hi All,
I am experiencing the "signal is low" issue with my dlink dcf 660, after seconds of getting online right next to my access point. Searching the forums suggests this is due to a bug in qtopia/sharp, and that there's not a lot I can do about it. I haven't been able to find the original reference to this- ie where can I find out more about this bug? So are my wireless days over? Does this happen to all users of cacko or sharp based roms? Is it related to particular cards? If I move over to pdaxrom am I going to be able to use wifi again? Thanks Jo |

If this brand of WIFI card is so fragile and un-reliable, what is the best alternative?
I don't have a WIFI card yet, but if I buy one, I surly want it to be reliable. Which brand makes the most durable WIFI card? And that is compatable with most Zaurus? Since these things cannot be purchased at a local store, and would have to be mailed back if defective, I'm hoping there is one that doesn't break so easily. |

I recommend the Symbol Spectrum24 (aka Socket Low Power WiFi Rev. A). The card works well and appears to be solidly constructed. As an added bonus the card has a small footprint in the Zaurus and is low powered. The card is also plug and play in Cacko and gets a better signal then my Powerbook. |
