Topic says it all.
thx,

I've got a Linksys Wireless CompactFlash card, WCF12.
It's good for short periods, however it gets rather hot after a while and it will freeze the zaurus. My PCMCIA wifi card on my laptop does the EXACT same thing, just takes longer, so i assume most wifi cards do this after a few hours?
Its a good card though, still works after being hot enough to burn my fingers heh.

I'm on my second ambicom WL1100C. First one died after a very severe drop of my zaurus. Never had any probs, a lil rough on the battery life, but it always works, and I've run it for hours (on adapter obviously) without it locking up the zaurus. Only once did it lock up my zaurus, and I fell asleep with it on and it ran all night. I'm sure someone can recommend a good low-power one?

I have a WCF12 too, because I read in a review that it was very good on power consumption. The temperature it reaches (as noted above), though, casts doubt on that. I am wondering if the Zaurus drivers do not exploit the power-saving possibilities fully. I have used it so far with the pdaXrom.

Netgear MA701. It's one of the ones recommended on myzaurus.com
It works perfectly with the Sharp ROM, and I haven't had any problems with OZ 3.2 either. All you have to do is configure.

I second the NetGear MA701. I have not had any problems with it (works great with WinCE devices also). Some people had problems with the card making good connections in their CF slot. Those seemed to be rather isolated incidents and may have been related to rough use, but I don't know for sure.
