Title: Best place to buy Wireless CF in Europe?
Post by: steliosx on August 04, 2004, 04:16:02 pm: Hi,

I was wondering if anybody had success in finding cheap wireless 802.11b CF cards in Europe, (im in Greece basically) - as I have seen unbelievable prices in hsn.com ( which is only for US )

Any pointers would be more than welcomed!

Thanks a lot in advance.

(where best means draws less power). However many WiFI cards work well
with the zaurus (probably all that are based on the prism2 or the orinoco
chipset). I have the ambicom WL1100C and it works fine.
