Title: Best WiFi card for 5500 with OZ 3.5.1?
Post by: ksignorini on October 10, 2004, 11:40:33 pm

I can't seem to find the definitive answer in one place, so I posted this question all by itself.

What is the best wifi (CF) card to buy for an SL-5500 running OZ 3.5.1?

(least trouble to configure/reliability, etc.)

Comments/reasons for choice would be good as well.

(I had considered a Linksys WCF12 but I've now read numerous comments about it not working in OZ 3.5.1--is this really true?)

Thanks,
Kent!

I've had a WCF12 running with various roms including oz 3.5.1.

There were a few teething problems (namely WEP - I think its down to OZ as I've had similar problems under opie and gpe), but I can't say that its down to the card definitely as the WCF12 has performed flawlessly under all the stock Sharp ROMs and the Watapon ROM.

Note: I am using a 5600, so take this reply with a pinch of salt.

What firmware version is your wcf12 card?  I have been trying many different things but still can't get it to work.  I'm using OZ 3.5.1 on 5500 with linksys wcf12 firmware 1.4.2.  I read from here:

  http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message...?msg_id=6307308 (http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=6307308)

that 1.4.2 version tends to be buggy.  Do you mind sharing how did you get your card to work?  Thank you.

Any other suggestions for a card, then?

Thanks,
