Title: Wifi Card Problem (ma701)
Post by: russman on June 08, 2006, 05:31:06 pm

Hello All!

I have got recently used Netgear MA701 card. It does not work.
When I insert it in CF slot it imedeatly light the led and zaurus (5000D) says that "anoyimous card" is found.

I have checked the card with cardctl info/ident and it shows "no product information available".

My question is: should I thow the card right to the trash basket or there are some hope to reanimate it?

Thank you in advance.

PS. I use OpenZaurus 3.5.4

Hi Folks!

I have "fixed" the problem. Since I have got card very cheap I decided that it makes no sense to send it somethere for repair or something and used that oportunity to look waht is inside. Curiosity is a great thing. So I have cracked it open and it started to work! Bad contact somewhere I guess. It works well up to now.
