Search ebay for Symbol Wireless Networker card - it's the same as Socket with a different label

Hi,

I have a socket low power CF WIFI card, that I am not using any more, only
because it seems that after I use it to connect, everything is OK for a minute
or so, then it really slows down, pings start pausing, then it stops working.

I use a linksys now.  Anyway, I do not see that model number on the back, but
there are some numbers:

8510-00186 B
0208000149

FCC ID H9PLA4137P
© 2002 made in Taiwan

I saw what looks like the same card ( for $70 ?) at the site that someone posted the recent
linksys WCF12 for $33 in "Great buys or Deals"

I never persued trying better drivers, but was surprised it started/stopped working on
Sharp/pdaXrom/OpenZaurus.

What is so special about this card, the power requirements?
