5x00 General discussions / Wireless Detection Using Pretec & Sharp Rom
« on: April 17, 2005, 03:43:30 pm »
Possible hardware issue with pretec cf wlan card.
Haven't had any trouble using the pretec card with my SL5500 with either sharp or oz roms although I did have a probem initially which you might have run into.
It would rarely connect to anything and if it did the connection would drop shortly afterwards even though neither the zaurus nor AP had moved and they were sitting almost next to each other.
It sounds silly but I found that cupping my hand around the card (at the top where I assume the antenna is) allowed me to connect and it would stay connected until I removed my hand!
I found that attaching a metallic object to the top rear of the card solved my connection problem (I eventually used a short length of 10mm copper braid taped to the top rear of the card). This has been working for almost a year now!
Don't know if I have an early version and they've fixed the issue but thought you guys might like to know. The model of the card is PRETEC OC-WLBXX-A.
