Wifi Cf Cards For Sharp Rom

Hi, I just joined these forums after searching for a solution to getting my WCF12 to work on the Zaurus SL-5600 I just bought. It's a refurbished model running ROM Version 1.32. Most info I find online says that the WCF12 will be recognized out of the box, but no luck. I see the advice to upgrade the 5500 to ROM Version 3.10, but it doesn't look like there is a Version higher than 1.32 available for the 5600. At least I haven't found one yet. Can anyone help?

I have the same results.  Just got a new WCF12 from amazon plugged into my SL-5600,  configured everything and I cannot connect (to my DLink wireless router).  Anbody have any tricks out there for this card on SL-5600?  Perhaps they've changed the hardware in the card somehow?  What command line commands should we run to help figure this out?  Thanks and regards, -Phil

p.s. I'm using Watapon 1.6.1
p.p.s This link implies that WCF12 now uses prism3 chipset.  Can anyone confirm?

More data.  My new WCF12 came right up in OpenZaurus 3.5.3.  It must require newer drivers.

Have you tried kismet or wellenreiter with it?

I've reflashed back to a sharp based ROM, because I couldn't get an IrDA keyboard to work with OZ.  I did try Wellenreiter when had OZ, and had no luck with it.  It would not even find the AP in my home.  I was under the impression it would not work with Prism3 cards?

I bought a Symbol Spectrum24 on E-Bay and it works real well on my 5500.

Also, I use a Ambicom that works great, bought it at amazon about 1.5 yrs ago.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detai...e&s=pc&n=507846

It's selling for 50 to $60.

Just wondering, is there a Wi Fi - G CF card in the market?

As you can see in my signature, I use a D-Link Air card.
It worked no problem at all, without any configuring on my part.
