Read a review on this SMC and it sounds like a good one, too.

What Zaurus are you going to use it with?

860. Pda Buyer\'s Guide (http://www.pdabuyersguide.com/tips/SMC_wifi.htm) 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)?

What was the price before the rebate?

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.

Post by: bitjanitor on June 05, 2004, 04:29:52 pm: 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
